I'm planning a trip to China this summer and need to travel

I'm planning a trip to China this summer and need to travel from Shanghai to Beijing. Is this train operational yet? What is the price/accomodation difference between the maglev and the regular trains? I was planning an overnight trip, so a soft sleeper is on my list at this point.

I know the trip is about 12 hours since my last trip between Nanjing and Beijing was about that long. I saw some posts put the maglev trip anywhere from 5 to 10 hours.
