Hangzhou - Nanjing Train
Currently, there are over 136 pairs of trains operated daily between Hangzhou and Nanjing. More than 126 pairs of them are high speed types with duration of 1 - 4.5 hours. The rest 10 pairs or so are normal types with duration of 5 - 8 hours.
Bullet trains are much more popular for this short trip due to its frequency and short travel time. It makes a one-day-tour easier between two cities. Thus, travelers are recommended to choose this type of ride. However, they do not run in late night, which means bullet overnight sleeper trains are not available. As a complementarity, some non-bullet types with sleepers are still reasonable for passengers who need to depart during mid-night.

There are totally over 10 pairs of normal rides between. However, they are not recommended options except for these travelers who have to travel during mid-night for flight connection.
All the rides are operated at Nanjing Railway Station. But in Hangzhou, they are operated at two different stations including Hangzhou Railway Station and Hangzhou South Railway Station. Double check your ticket to make sure to get on or off at the right one.
As most of the rides just stop for a few minutes at the related stations, it is recommended to pay more attention to the broadcast in order to make preparation for getting off in advance. If you are not sure whether your destination is approaching or not, you may show your paper ticket to the staff or local passengers around you for help.
