Hangzhou, Zhejiang: 186 pairs of passenger trains will be added during the Spring Festival travel rush

Tickets for Spring Festival travel rush have entered the peak of sale before the Railway Festival. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, staff at the Hangzhou Railway Station said that compared with last year, the Spring Festival travel rush this year was 12 days ahead of schedule. At present, the work flow and the visiting family flow are intertwined with the student flow that is on holiday one after another. During this year's Spring Festival travel rush, the Hangzhou Railway Station plans to launch 689 pairs of passenger trains, of which 186 pairs of passenger trains were added, with the main directions concentrated in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing.

The more times you reimburse, the higher the success rate

In addition to increasing the transportation capacity, when some trains are in short supply, the staff reminds passengers to use the alternate function in the ticket purchase in time. Each passenger can submit 6 wait-off orders. Each wait-off order supports the selection of any 3 ride dates during the pre-sale period, with a total of no more than 60 trains added. The more candidate trains there are, the higher the success rate of the wait-off orders.

Hubei: Diversion of the starting ordinary trains to improve efficiency

In addition to providing enough trains, improving traffic efficiency is also a way to ensure transportation capacity. In order to improve the efficiency of railway ordinary trains crossing the river, this year the Wuhan Railway Bureau continues to divert the starting ordinary trains. For trains heading south, try to arrange for departure from Wuchang Station south of the Yangtze River; for trains heading north and east, try to move to Hankou Station north of the Yangtze River.

Add a snow melting device to ensure normal operation of bad weather

In addition, in order to ensure that the train can operate normally in bad weather, before this year's Spring Festival travel, Wuhan Hankou Railway Station installed 160 sets of turntree snow melting devices. This device quickly heats the rails to 80℃ by powering the resistor wire, which greatly solves the situation where the turntree cannot be moved due to low temperature freezing on the railway switches and the train cannot operate normally.
