Trains departing to the northwest continue along the Guangshen railway towards Guangzhou.

The Guangshen railway continues south towards Shenzhen, where it is connected to the East Rail line of Hong Kong at the border near Luohu/Lo Wu.

Sheungping railway station was opened in 1911 along with the Chinese section of Kowloon-Canton Railway, Sheungping being the Cantonese-based postal romanization of Changping, which is Putonghua-based.

The Guangdong through train service started to call at Changping railway station in 1994, bringing convenience to passengers travelling between Hong Kong and Dongguan, especially Hong Kong residents who reside in the vicinity of Dongguan and commute back to Hong Kong on a daily basis.

The Beijing and Shanghai through trains no longer stops at this station (and became non-stop services) since Beijing West and Shanghai stations set up their own immigration facilities and became ports of entry in October 2003.
