The Beijing-Guangdong high-speed train (京粤高速动车组列车) is a high-speed train service operated by China Railway Beijing Group (CR Beijing) on Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR in China. Currently, 2 pairs of trains are operated daily between Beijing West and Guangzhou South with train numbers G66/69 and G67/70, 1 pair of trains daily between Beijing West and Futian in Shenzhen with train numbers G71/72 and 1 pair of trains daily between Beijing West and Zhuhai with train numbers G65/68.

History

The high-speed train services between Beijing and Guangzhou date back to 26 December 2012, when the Beijing–Zhengzhou section of the Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong HSR was opened. At the initial stage, 2 pairs of trains were operated daily between Beijing West and Guangzhou South with train numbers G79/82 and G80/81.[1]

The G71/72 trains also started service between Beijing West and Shenzhen North from 26 December 2012.[1]

On 28 December 2013, the southern terminus of the G79/82 service was extended to Shenzhen North and the train number of the Shenzhen-bound service was changed from G82 to G80. The former G80/81 service between Beijing West and Guangzhou South had the train numbers changed to G66/69 and 2 more pairs of trains (G65/68 and G67/70) between Beijing West and Guangzhou South started services.[2] After the adjustment, there were 3 pairs of trains operating daily between Beijing West and Guangzhou South (G65/68, G66/69 and G67/70), and 2 pairs of trains between Beijing West and Shenzhen North (G71/72 and G79/80).

On 5 January 2017, the G71/72 and G79/80 services were extended to Futian.[3]

With the inauguration of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong XRL Hong Kong section on 23 September 2018, the G79/80 service was extended to Hong Kong West Kowloon, and became the fastest train service between Beijing and Hong Kong (see Beijing–Hong Kong High-Speed Train).[4][5]

On 10 July 2019, the G65/68 service was extended to Zhuhai.[6]

(Note that G80 and G79 between Hong Kong and Beijing, via Shenzhen and Guangzhou, are staffed by CR Guangzhou, not CR Beijing)
