Two routes of interprovincial trains from Zhuhai will be extended to farther cities while more Xiaolan, Xinhui, and Zhanjiang-bound destinations will be added to the north section of the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity MRT.

According to Guangzhou Railway Group Corp, effective July 1, Guiyang-bound trains will pass through Chongqing Municipality and terminate at Chengdu (Sichuan) East Railway Station. The trip to Chongqing will take nine hours, with another hour needed to reach Chengdu.
