Mr.Shan replied:
Currently, there is no trains running from Wuhan to HK directly. So, you could consider transfering at Guangzhou. There are multi trains departing from Wuchang Railway Station of Wuhan to Guangzhou everyday. When you arrive in Guangzhou, you could take a train from Guangzhou East Railway Station to reach HK in 2 hours.
Well, for the train schedule and ticket fare, please refer to http://www.travelchinaguide.com/china-trains/

Ms.Evelyn(China) replied:
You mean train ticket, right? You can go to the Haikou Railway Station in Wuhan to buy it in advance. The Train T192 from Hankou to Urumqi leaves at 19:10. It takes about 39 hours to get to Urumqi. I suggest you purchase an hard sleepper ticket. The soft sleeper ticket is better. The ticket cost is as follows:
hard seat: CNY351
soft seat: CNY557
hard sleeper: CNY589/610/631
soft sleeper: CNY930/972
You should purchase the ticket as soon as possible in case the tickets are sold out.
