Trains are classified by speed and service in China, represented by a train code. A train code is comprised of a letter (G, D, C, Z, T, K) or no letter (number only), which indicates a train's type.

How does it feel to take the high-speed train in China?
Recently, a direct high-speed rail link connecting Yixing, a county-level city in Jiangsu province, and Shanghai began on March 20.
According to Yixing Railway Station, the previous trains to Shanghai set off from Nanjing first meaning that tickets were often sold or in short supply for those travelling from Yixing. With the adding of G7319 this time, the problem is expected to be solved.
According to the 13th Five-Year Plan for Jiangsu province, another high-speed railway line will come into operation in the coming five years. The Yan-Tai-Xi-Chang-Yi Railway will cross the Yangtze River and pass through Yancheng, Taizhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Yixing. The railway stretches 290 kilometers and trains will travel at an average speed of 250 kph.
盐泰锡常宜铁路北接沿海客运通道及徐宿淮盐铁路，南连宁杭高铁。线路起自盐城，向南经泰州、无锡、常州武进区，至无锡宜兴，线路全长290公里，设计速度目标值250公里/时。
