The Shanghai–Xi'an high-speed train () are high-speed train services between Shanghai and Xi'an, an ancient capital of China and the capital of Shaanxi Province. Trains are operated by CR Shanghai, CR Xi'an and CR Zhengzhou.
History The high-speed train services between Shanghai and Xi'an commenced on 10 September 2016, with the inauguration of the Zhengzhou–Xuzhou HSR (part of Xuzhou–Lanzhou HSR).
The G1912/1913 and G1930/1927 trains were extended to on 10 July 2017 (later changed to G1970/1971 and G1972/1969) with the opening of the Baoji–Lanzhou section of the Xuzhou–Lanzhou HSR. The G1974/1975 and G1976/1973 trains were extended to on 28 December 2017.
On December 30, 2019, two new trains between Shanghai and Xi'an began operation, via Beijing–Shanghai HSR, Hefei–Nanjing passenger railway, Shangqiu–Hangzhou HSR and Xuzhou–Lanzhou HSR.
Operations
The G360/361 and G362/359 trains offer faster services with only three intermediate stops (, and ), and are called as "benchmark trains" (). Other trains are services with more stops and longer travelling time.
According to the train numbering rules of China Railway, odd numbers are for south or west bound trains and even numbers are for north or east bound trains. The trains from Shanghai to Xi'an travel northbound on Beijing–Shanghai HSR and westbound on Xuzhou–Lanzhou HSR, and the trains from Xi'an to Shanghai travel eastbound on Xuzhou–Lanzhou HSR and southbound on Beijing–Shanghai HSR. Therefore, all the train services on this route have 2 train numbers for the same service.
