Answered by Darius from CANADA | Oct. 16, 2019 03:10

The nesrest one should be the main station, Jinan railway Station. It is about 4km only. The next one should be the West Station, around 14km and 40min by taxi. East Station is a little bit far, over 20km and around 50min on the way.

Asked by Terri from USA | Dec. 21, 2018 00:41

Hello! Just wondering if I can get on the train from other stations?

I am wondering if I have a ticket from Shenzhen North to Jinan West on G280, am I able to get on at Guangzhou South instead? If not, can I change my ticket?

It is not possible to change the departure station, however, you can board from Guangzhou South directly. You need to collect the paper ticket out before 7:43am on your travel date. With paper ticket in hand, you can board there without any problem. You can still use the seat you booked.
