Three railway lines intersect in Ningbo: the [[Xiaoshan–Ningbo Railway]] (Xiaoyong Line), which runs west to [[Hangzhou]]; the [[Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou Railway|Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou (Yongtaiwen) Railway]], which runs south to [[Wenzhou]]; and the [[Hangzhou–Ningbo High-Speed Railway]], which runs parallel to the Xiaoyong Line providing high-speed railway service.

With the booming economy in the region, the Xiaoyong Railway, a conventional railway built in the 1950s, could not meet the demand for railway travel between Zhejiang's two largest cities, so construction of a new [[Hangyong Passenger Railway|high-speed railway line between Hangzhou and Ningbo]] started in 2009. The new railway line was finished in 2013 and reduced travel time between Ningbo and Hangzhou to 50 minutes.

The [[Ningbo–Taizhou–Wenzhou Railway]] is a high-speed railway that opened in September 2009. It connects Ningbo with cities along the coast to the south to [[Fujian]] Province. High-speed trains on this line operate at speeds of up to {{convert|250|km/h|abbr=on}}.

Ningbo re-opened the [[Ningbo railway station]] after three years of construction on 28 December 2013.
