kamal,

Thanks for your reply.

1. My flight will arrive at pudong airport at 2:30 pm. What are the scheduled times the trains and buses to Changzhou will leave the station? Please provide the schedules.

2. Please confirm if the bus fee is more expensive than the train. If not, how much will it cost me if I take the bus from PuDong airport to Changzhou?

hello nikki:
sorry for being late to answer your question,you asked train schedule and I checked some to fit for you,you will get the air station at 2:30 and it takes 3-4 hours to train station,so I arranged some for you, if you can get the train staion before 4:20 one train start off at 4:26pm an it costs 22RMB~112RMB by seat and berth difference,it get to changzhou at 19: 17 ,the shedule is in chinese I don't know you can understand or not try: http://train.tielu.org/SearchTrain/1658.aspx
another one starts off 16:52 it fits for you(k152/k153),arrive at 19:03,costs 25~115RMB.
K118 starts of 20:18, arrive 22:15,price is almost same with k152: look at http://train.tielu.org/SearchTrain/K188.aspx.
the train is rather cheap than bus.
