After the third private message eventually something for the public. So there's actually anybody interested in Dongbei...
But what is there to say, it's a standard CRH.
Stations:
- Dalian Bei is in the middle of the sticks, far from the center (trains also to DL station)
- Shenyang Bei is in the city center with metro access (trains also to SY station)
- Changchun Xi is outside the city, but still ok. Due to all the construction around Changchun main station, Xi is probably even easier to access during rush hours (trains also to CC station)
- Haerbin Xi is half way to the airport, but still in the city. 30 mins from the pedestrian street
Worth of note is also
- Longjia station at Changchun airport, one of the few CRH airport stations. Athough not on the Haerbin-Dalian route and older, some trains go there and therefore it gives easy access to cities without airports.
Trains are standard CRHs, I hate trains.
- 2nd class, standard
- 1st class, standard
- Tedeng, a disappointment. While this class makes a train ride bearable on other routes, they've stuffed too many seats in there making the seat pitch smaller than in first, no power outlets on every row and row 2 AC is without a window. If empty still good, if full, first class is the better evil.
