China high-speed Train Cars and Seats

Generally speaking, a high-speed train can be divided into four levels carriages with different seats, equipment, and tickets fares. They are business train cars, first class train cars, second class train cars and dining train cars. But on the early production of 350KM level EMU, e.g., No. CRH380AL and CRH380BL Beijing – Shanghai high-speed trains, there are two VIP Sightseeing Areas (sightseeing area are also equipped with three first class seats in the second row).

The sightseeing area is next to the driving control room. In this area, there’s only a transparent glass wall between the control room and sightseeing area, so passengers can see the drivers’ compartment directly.
 

There is a listening system on the seat, and passengers can listen to multiple music channels and TV programs by inserting headphones.

A foldable dining table is also equipped in the seat. But on the early CRH380A high-speed trains, there are 6 VIP face to face seats in a separate space with a large table in the middle.
