Here we would say, "This train goes from Shanghai to Beijing."

Thanks for that answer in the native way, Ron!
But how do I say it in simple and native way if combining with departing time, arrival time, train number, or even the time period spent in the train?
May I say like this: The 102 Train goes from Shanghai to Beijing for 10 hours, with the departure time is 9am and arrival time 7pm.?
Lucy in confusion :P |
There are a couple of ways you can say that.
1) The 102 Train goes from Shanghai to Beijing with a departure time of 9am and an arrival time of 7pm. It's a ten-hour trip.
2) The 102 train leaves Shangai at 9am and arrives in Beijing at 7pm--a journey of ten hours.
3) The 102 train takes ten hours to go from Shangai to Beijing, leaving Shangai at 9am and arriving in Beijing at 7pm.
