Yep. Things have changed. At least for direct trains Beijing <->Qingdao, no more T's and no more trains from Beijing Main station anymore. You can of course, still take a T or K from BJ Main to somewhere like Jinan and then change to another Qingdao train, but of course that's not a direct routing and a lot more work.
