The route covers 921 km against 894 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
Where the change is
Connections are made at Changzhou, Nantong, Shanghai, Wuxi. The gap between arriving and leaving is 65 minutes, of which about 14 is walking.
If the connection is missed
The tightest connection we sell here has a 15 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
