Service

All types of trains stop at Weifang Station, ranging from the common trains (denoted without a letter) to the high-speed CRH trains (denoted with a "G"). Due to the low constructing standard of Qingdao-Jinan passenger railway, "G" trains can only run at 200 km/h (120 mph), same as "D" trains(common CRH trains). The ticket price of "D"s and "G"s running on this railway is equally calculated as well. The common trains mainly offer service throughout Shandong province and major cities outside Shandong, with destinations such as Cao County, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai and some stations have no high-speed train service.

Passengers can board the high-speed "G"-trains to Shanghai, Beijing, Changchun, Harbin, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, etc.. On the westbound track, trains will first go to Jinan railway station before switching to the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway. There are also some lower-speed "D"-trains which run from Jinan to Qingdao, Yantai, Rongcheng(in Weihai), Longkou(in Yantai) and a few long routes to Shijiazhuang, Yuncheng and Taiyuan.^[1]
