There is no obvious difference for this short trip. G type is the fastest type and C type is designed for short trip，however, for this short trip, the duration is almost the same. You can just choose the suitable time and stations for this trip.

00ReplyI think the shuttle bus to Tongsha bus station (next to the railway station) should be after the landing of final flight. Also, the final metro line 2 runs at 22:54pm from Binhai airport to Tianjin Raiwlay Station diretion. You can use any of them to catch a nornal train at 2:21am from Tianjin Railway Station to Beijing West, you will reach Beijing around 4:30am.

00ReplyThe last bullet train is at 11pm, the time is almost not possible for your flight. You can only take the train for next day. The earliest one is at 5:40am from Tianjin West Station. To West Station, you can only use metro line 2 + line 6, no shuttle bus anymore.

00ReplyBoth options are OK. If you are not in a hurry, you can buy it at station directly. If you prefered to have a ticket at confirmed time, it is better to book one in advance. If you want to visiting the tourist sports near city center, the main station, Tianjin Station should be better to stop at.
