For those of you wanting to know some train times, here is a list from Beijing to Shijiazhuang.

You want to try to get a D train! They are 2 hour trains, they run on time and are very comfortable. They're like bullet trains. All the rest of the trains are much slower. I'll try to post to a different page since it's a bit hard to read here.

A normal ticket costs about $85 RMB and it's a good efficient train.
