Here we have an itinerary:
London - Guangzhou - Hong Kong
This is an eligible itinerary and it is also allowed to take a train from Guangzhou, but not a high speed one!!! This is essential to know because otherwise your itinerary would be ineligible.
So, there are not many changes, but you will take Guangzhou–Kowloon through train departing from Guangzhou East railway station and arriving in Hong Kong at Hung Hom railway station. This train takes a bit less than 2 hours, so quite fine also.
You should know that you need a confirmation for this train even before your departure from London. You can book your tickets at this website, see the upper part with the word "Trains". Keep in mind that after you book the train, you will have to add 12 USD of the delivery fee to the hotel of your choice in Guangzhou. This is necessary because you will receive an e-confirmation for this train in your inbox and you will print it out. Upon arrival in Guangzhou, your real ticket will wait you in your hotel.
This is the procedure and you are in this way definitely eligible for 144 hour visa free transit. Your dates and times that you have mentioned in your post are also perfect for this visa free transit scheme.
