The direction sign of Shanghai–Kowloon through train, taken near Hung Hom station; the southern destination has been labelled as "Hong Kong Hung Hom" since April 2019Shanghai–Kowloon through train at Shanghai railway station
The stops on the route were Guangzhou East, Zhuzhou, and Jinhuaxi stations. Only passengers taking Z99A/Z100A (Shanghai-Guangzhou East) could disembark at these stops.
Since 1 October 2003, passengers could not disembark at the stops listed above, as all travellers to Hong Kong from Shanghai clear Chinese immigration and customs at Shanghai station, and once they had done so they were considered to have left Mainland China and were no longer permitted to leave the train until their arrival at Hung Hom station. The same rule also applied to northbound travellers who would clear Chinese immigration once they had arrived at Shanghai station.[1] 144-hour visa-free transit for passengers who were of selected nationalities were available since 30 January 2016.[2]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the service has been suspended indefinitely since 30 January 2020. There has been no plan to resume its service. After the resumption of train services suspended due to COVID-19, this series of train services will only retain the itinerary within mainland China (Shanghai-Guangzhou) and will no longer operate the itinerary to Hong Kong.
Shanghai–Kowloon through train used 25T class train carriages. The train had 18 carriages in total. But only 11 carriages went to Hong Kong because the other 7 carriages served Z99A/Z100A, they were decoupled (for Z99B to go to Hong Kong) at the Guangzhou East railway station.
