during the tour youu always confront that words they rmean:
T is the first letter of Te Kuai(express) in CHinese. WE also have Z as in Zhida(non-stop),L as in Linshi(temperary),K as in Kuai(fast train) and some without capital letters which are normal train. From the Numbers follow, you can tell the direction of the trains.say even number-the trains point to Beijing. odd number-opposite.
Btw,I think train is the cheapest way.
and N is stands for the train only travel inbound of the province.

I checked from a few websites and got a lot of trains' codes with initial letter of "N", and they are not only running within specific province, so I think "N" stands for trains operating within the specific railway bureau.
