The Transport Department said some high-speed rail services to and from the mainland were cancelled on Thursday due to bad weather conditions.

Trains G6527, G6515, G6529, G6535, G6528, G6516, G6530 and G6536 to Guangzhounan (Guangzhou South) were cancelled.

Meanwhile, the destination of train G6510 and the departure station for train G6511 were changed to Shenzhenbei (Shenzhen North) instead of Guangzhounan.

The department said people could consider using alternative transport to get to the mainland.

The National Meteorological Centre said it expects heavy rain to continue to hit Guangdong.
