The newly concluded 2020 summer rail transport data shows that from July 1 to August 31, national railways shipped a total of 456 million passengers, reaching 70% of the level of the same period last year, and the flow of passengers continued to rebound.

On the morning of Day 1, the reporter logged on to website 12306 and found that many September 30 trains had no more tickets.

For example, from Beijing to Harbin, all train tickets with prefixes G and D were sold out on September 30, with only K1303 and K383 hard seat tickets remaining.

From Beijing to Zhengzhou on September 30, only some K-direction trains still had reserved seats. High-speed train tickets from Beijing to Changsha were sold out.

　　Don’t forget the missing node

Every year, netizens complain about the “second light” phenomenon when train tickets are sold in November. But in fact, after the ticket is sold, even if you don’t get it the first time, there are still plenty of opportunities to pick up and lose.

First, passengers who have not purchased tickets can use the “Alternative Ticket Purchase Service” feature on the China Railway 12306 website and app. The success rate of using this service to “leak” is high.

Additionally, attempts to obtain tickets at the following time points are also expected to be successful in the “leak”:

30 minutes after the opening of the sale, if a passenger does not pay on time, the ticket will be returned to the system for sale;

15 days before driving, is the rush hour for refunds;

48 hours and 24 hours before driving, the system will release some remaining fines;

Generally, 22:00 to 23:00 is the peak time for refunds;

Each stop has a certain percentage of the assigned ticket amount. If there are unsold tickets, the remaining tickets will be sold again the day before the trip.

In addition, the railway department also reminded passengers purchasing tickets online to log into the China Railways Customer Service Center website 12306 to purchase tickets and prevent third-party websites from leaking personal information.

This event in Hubei will reportedly continue until the end of this year, including the “Eleventh” Golden Week. In addition, Hubei also welcomes tourists from outside the province to enter Hubei by installing tourist charter flights, special tourist trains, and tourist packages.

For example, already on the May Day holiday, China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd. took a series of measures to prevent and control the epidemic and provide passenger transportation services. In Shanghai, Shanghai Hongqiao, Fuyang, Fuyang West and other stations, infrared thermometers are used to detect the body temperature of passengers entering and leaving the station, and the temperature measurement channels for entering and leaving the station are added on time according to the flow of passengers.

In the area of ​​scenic spots, reservations and current restrictions have also become the norm.

For example, in Hubei, all scenic spots must meet the opening requirements of “limited shifts, with appointments and peak hours”, and schedule appointments every day at 50% of the maximum approved daily load capacity.

The Shanxi Province Department of Culture and Tourism also issued a reminder: in accordance with the national epidemic prevention and control standardization requirements, most tourists need to “make an appointment first, then travel” and call to the scenic location in time to learn about ticket policies, reservation procedures, epidemic prevention and control requirements, and passenger flow. , Surrounding traffic, etc.
