History

edit

The high-speed train services between Beijing and Xi'an was started on 26 December 2012, when the Beijing–Zhengzhou section of the Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR was opened.[1]

Operations

edit

The trains were operated on Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR and Zhengzhou–Xi'an HSR.

The G25/26 and G87/88 trains have fewer stops than other trains and are called as "benchmark trains" (Chinese: 标杆车). The G25/26 and G88 trains only stop at Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou East,[2][3][4] and the G87 train is the fastest from Beijing to Xi'an with only one intermediate stop at Zhengzhou East.[5]
