The station is served both by the high-speed trains of the Wuhan–Guangzhou High-Speed Railway and by regular passenger trains on the original railway (Jingguang railway) running along the same route.[2]

Guangzhou South Railway Station, 17 km from central Guangzhou now receives most high speed trains to and from the city, and its opening diminished the importance of the somewhat remote Guangzhou North Station [3]

Metro connection

Line 9 of the Guangzhou Metro opened on 28 December 2017, with the metro station located at the west side of the national rail station at Guangzhou North railway station, but due to the construction of the Guangzhou–Qingyuan intercity railway, the metro station is inaccessible from the national rail station. Therefore, passengers need to get off at the preceding station, Huacheng Lu, and walk along the road, or take a shuttle bus.[4]
