According to the top economic planner, taking a seat in first class will set you back 780 yuan, while one in second will cost you 490 yuan. Eight carriages on the train are split into seven for second class passengers and and just the one reserved for first-class passengers. Travelling at 350 kilometers per hour, the new service will cut what used to be a 10-and-a-half-hour trip to three hours.
