Hi!
That isn't it, Ellyse according to mentioned below.

The schedule “Guangzhou-Kowloon (Hung Hom) Through Train”:

MTR (public transportation in Hong Kong): http://www.mtr.com.hk/

For goodness sakes please make the distinction between the train and the metro (MTR) systems. They're not one and the same. This traveller asked about *a* train, which I took to mean ONE single train journey without involving any changing enroute.

Hi ellyse!
The only things, who I meant was to these replies, were incorrect: "there is not; just bus or limo" by emmet7. And this quotation of you "Above answer is correct".

You can get a direct train Guangzhou (Guangzhou East station) to Hung Hom. This means going through immigration before you board the train. At Hung Hom you can catch the airport bus A21 (I think). I'm not sure where the Airport Express train leaves from - Kowloon I think (different station).

You can probably take a bus from Guangzhou through to HK airport, but normally you have to get off at the border and go through on foot, with your luggage. Except I hear that has changed recently. And also going to the airport might mean a change of bus anyway. But it's all fairly painless.

I still stand by my answer. There is no direct train service from Guangzhou to Hong Kong airport -- your suggestion would've required changing from train to the MTR system.
Buses and limos are the only "direct" transport.
