The duration appears not be calcualted correctly eg:
T704 >0830 0929 10470837 0919 1054< 2:54 303
Martin, it reads: T704 >0830 0929 1047< 2:47 303
Hi Jian, In 2 weeks I am coming to Nanjing from Boston. These trains from Shanghai to Nanjing, are they from the Main station or from south station? Thanks for the info. Great site, by the way.

@Joe, it SHOULD be at the Shanghai Main Station, not the South Station. As far as I know, there is no train to Nanjing from South Station. However, always check the ticket to make sure where you are going...

Thanks a lot!!!

I'll be traveling to from Shanghai to Nanjing on Tuesday, March 19th. Does anyone know the easiest route to take (bus or train)? I'll be traveling alone and I want to get there as safe an uncomplicated as possible.
Thanks,
Dena
@Dena, suggest you to take train, as stated in this article.
