No, this is not possible. Departure by high speed train from West Kowloon or MRT are ineligible for 240 hour visa free transit. If you want to travel from Hong Kong toward mainland China and use 240 hour visa free transit, you will have to take a ferry from Hong Kong to Shekou in Shenzhen or to Nansha, located south from Guangzhou. Probably the latter option will be suitable for you because Nansha is connected to Guangzhou by metro. Also, since you have departed to mainland China to Hong Kong you are not allowed to return directly to Hong Kong, but you can return to Macau instead. When you reach Macau from mainland China you can immediately proceed to Hong Kong. It is important to understand that even before your departure from Hong Kong toward mainland China, you will have to buy your ferry ticket from Shekou to Macau through TurboJet website. Like this you will have eligible itinerary that will look: Hong Kong - mainland China - Macau. All your travels to and from mainland China will be by ferries. Please, have in mind that you will have to take exactly that ferry from Shekou to Macau that you have bought your ticket for. This is the only way how you could visit Guangzhou visa free. Also, there is no visa on arrival or similar as far as Guangzhou is concerned. You should cancel your train ticket and ask for a refund because taking a train from Hong Kong to Guangzhou is not an eligible way how you can enter mainland China under 240 hour visa free transit. Hope this helps.
