Core Viewpoint - Guangzhou Railway Station is transitioning from operating conventional trains (green trains) to focusing on high-speed rail services, marking a significant shift in the city's transportation landscape [1][8]. Group 1: Transition from Green Trains - Guangzhou Railway Station will no longer handle the starting and terminating services of conventional trains from January 26, 2024, but will still have several conventional trains passing through [2][3]. - The last green train service from Guangzhou Station was the K303 train to Xuzhou on January 25, 2024 [1]. Group 2: High-Speed Rail Development - Guangzhou Station has been functioning as a high-speed rail station since the introduction of high-speed trains in May 2016, but it will undergo further renovations to fully modernize its facilities [3][4]. - The station will start operating 50 high-speed trains from the former Guangzhou Baiyun Station after the national railway timetable adjustment on January 26, 2024 [3][6]. Group 3: Future Infrastructure Plans - A new link line between Guangzhou Station and Guangzhou South Station is under construction, expected to be completed by 2027, which will enhance connectivity and facilitate high-speed rail operations [4][6]. - Guangzhou East Station is also undergoing significant renovations to become a modern high-speed rail hub, which will be completed before the upgrades at Guangzhou Station [6].
