EHR...no. depends on where in GZ you had to go, anyway. My office was in Tianhe, and the fastest way was *always* the "slow" train. High speed stops in Panyu, takes another hour to go to the city...also, most white trains from sz stop in all stations along the way..Original Post Deleted
On the HK side, you lived somewhere up in the NT then maybe..but if you were in Kowloon or the island (=10mins taxi to hunghom), then no way...
Plus, if you took the late afternoon train back to HK, it was operated on the old China railway stock with a dining car...always go for the soy sauce chicken drumsticks and a mug of beer with colleagues.
HK-Canton-through-train FTW...sad to see it going. But alas, "progress"

A close MTR contact was adamant that there were always plans to maintain both as they catered to a different market segment, but also represented different commercial (ownership) interests. Of course that was pre-Covid, and over the last two years, reality might have kicked in. I'm reaching out for further comment!Original Post Deleted
I would be sad to see this go. Not so much for HK/GZ, for which the waning pax # speak for themselves, but the BJ/SH connection, which I used often. At a minimum I hope those are maintained, although it means maintaining an entire immigration area for essentially one train daily.
Mind you, in each of BJ/SH, that's essentially what's been happening for years...
