Zhenjiang to Xian by train

yes, K560 leaves at 18:06, T116 departs at 18:16, and T138 leaves at 18:23 from Zhenjiang

David, thank you - another question please
David, Why were these trains not listed when I printed out a timetable. Is it because they are slow trains? Would they have soft sleepers? How long would the trip take in these trains please because they are slower?

where did you get the time table?
i checked the schedule on the official ticking website and only found the three.
i heard that new schedule will be adopted and many trains will stop service and some new will be open. T138 will stop on July 5. when will you travel?

David,
I will be travelling on the afternoon of 26th July.
Truly there seem to be many different timetables and I am worried.

Don't worry Vikki,
The tickets for July 26 will be put on sale on July 7, so you still have time to confirm the schedule. would you mind tell you where did you get the timetable and what are the train numbers?

David, I cannot remember which website now. I have tried to find it again and cannot. That is half my problem as I seem to get different advice on different websites.
I will take your advice and when I get to China I will book my ticket for 26th July to Xian, and also my return to Pudong. BTW which is the closest train station to Pudong? Is it just Shanghai or Shanghai South please?
Vikki

Hi Vikki,
I'm sure the train numbers i give you are correct if you are searching for trans from Zhenjiang to Xian.
Tickets are in large demand in summer holiday (July and August), so remember to book the ticket 20 days in advance, say on July 7th.
If you booking with online agent, you'd better submit your order more than 20 days in advance. if you decide to purchase the ticket by yourself at the railway station, you should go to the station 18 days in advance, on July 9th.
All trains from Xian to Shanghai stops at Shanghai Railway Station, from the station you can take airport shuttle bus or subway lines to pudong airport.
