History

edit

The service commenced operations on 28 September 2012, when the Zhengzhou–Wuhan section of the Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR was put into operation.

Operations

edit

The services are operated on the Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR and Zhengzhou–Jiaozuo ICR (G75 only).

The G73 train departs from Anyang East instead of Zhengzhou East, but it still takes Zhengzhou East as an intermediate stop, while G75 takes its intermediate stop at Zhengzhou railway station and doesn't go past Zhengzhou East. These trainsets go back to Zhengzhou East respectively as G76 and G74.
