BEIJING, Jan. 5 -- Tickets for long-distance trains departing the Shenzhen
Railway Station and the Shenzhen West Railway Station from Jan. 12, the first
day of the Spring Festival transportation period, are selling fast, the Shenzhen
Railway Station said.
Around 21,000 tickets had been sold through the 9510-5160 and 9602-0086
ticket-booking system in two days. All the tickets for trains on Jan. 12 were
sold out.
Fifteen minutes after the booking system was put into service at 7 a.m.
Friday, the numbers had received 190,000 calls. By 8 a.m., 720,000 calls had
come in. Tickets to Wuchang, Changsha, Yueyang, Beijing, Xi'an, Zhengzhou,
Shenyang and Chengdu for Jan. 12 were booked out in the morning.
During the Spring Festival transportation period that lasts until Feb. 19,
the Guangzhou Railway Group opened a telephone ticket-booking system at nine
railway stations across Guangdong Province.
For trains starting from Guangzhou and Foshan, passengers in the province
can dial 9510-5105 or 9602-0088.
Guangzhou Railway Station will add 13 temporary trains before the Spring
Festival, but the waiting hall is at Pazhou Exhibition Hall on Xingang Road East
in Haizhu District. Passengers are required to arrive there three hours before
departure, and the railway station will arrange a Metro train two hours in
advance to transport the passengers to the Guangzhou Railway Station.
During the Spring Festival transportation period, also known as chunyun,
all bullet trains between Shenzhen and Guangzhou will only stop at the Guangzhou
East Railway Station. The railway authorities remind Shenzhen residents who will
take trains from Guangzhou to leave home five hours ahead of schedule to provide
more time for bus and Metro transfers.
The railway authorities also welcome reports about illegal activities such
as overcharging or ticket scalping by calling (0755) 8232-8620 or 2558-9506.
