China News Service, Beijing, October 4 (Reporter Jia Tianyong) The reporter learned from Beijing Station: The transportation period for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2026 will start from September 23 to October 8, a total of 16 days. During this period, Beijing Railway Station is expected to send 2.035 million passengers.
During the holidays, Beijing Railway Station and Beijing Chaoyang Railway Station fully activated peak operation charts, dynamically optimized train operation plans, expanded transport capacity through various methods such as adding night high-speed trains and reconnected EMUs, and accurately filled the capacity gap during peak hours. Focusing on Shenyang, Dalian, Changchun, Harbin, Chifeng, Tongliao, Jilin, Baicheng and other popular directions for visiting relatives and traveling before the holidays, the number of flights will be increased to effectively alleviate the passenger flow pressure on popular lines and accurately adapt to the concentrated travel needs of passengers. In view of the concentration of high-speed trains at night and trains arriving at the station in the early morning during holidays, Beijing Railway Station has optimized the supply of night waiting facilities, added self-service vending machines in each waiting room, enriched the supply of fast food drinks, and coordinated the delayed closing of merchants in the station to fully meet the rigid needs of passengers waiting for trains at night, such as dining and shopping, and create an all-weather, full-coverage warm waiting environment.
Beijing Railway Station and Beijing Tongzhou Railway Station have set up green channels for emergency passengers and charity based on the actual situation on site. They are opened during peak passenger flow hours to provide priority entry, security check, ticket check-in and boarding services for emergency passengers and key passengers such as the elderly, the young, the sick, disabled pregnant women within 15 minutes before departure, and effectively respond to passengers' urgent appeals. Beijing Chaoyang Station has opened an express entry hall during periods of heavy passenger flow to further streamline entry lines and ensure that urgent passengers can board the train conveniently and quickly. During holidays, the passenger flow is superimposed, and it is easy for passengers to mistakenly enter the waiting room. Beijing Railway Station focuses on this high-frequency pain point and implements an on-site ticket checking and release mechanism for passengers who mistakenly enter the waiting area, effectively reducing the time for passengers to return and travel. The eighth waiting room is simultaneously opened as a dedicated transfer passage. Relying on the linkage and control mode of platform doors and service desks, it dynamically and accurately controls the flow of transfer passengers, streamlines transfer links, shortens walking paths, and builds a closed-loop and efficient transfer guarantee system. Beijing Chaoyang Station continues to optimize the inbound flow line, adding 340 square meters of area for security inspection, expanding the security inspection and ticket inspection channels, and effectively improving the inbound traffic capacity.
In order to ensure the smooth and orderly evacuation of passenger flow during the Double Festival, Beijing Railway Station has deepened road-ground linkage cooperation and established an all-round and full-process transportation connection support system. The station accurately determines holiday passenger flow peaks, travel periods and passenger flow trends, shares passenger flow data with subway, bus and other local transportation departments in real time, and dynamically allocates transportation capacity. Through in-station broadcasts and electronic displays, information on public transportation operations, connections and transfers is updated in real time. Relying on multiple online channels such as 12306 App, WeChat public accounts, and text messages, it accurately delivers convenient information such as bus and subway delayed operations, transfer route guidance, etc. to guide passengers to plan their travel plans reasonably and travel in an orderly manner during the off-peak hours, so as to ensure that passengers travel during the Double Festival holiday in a safe, orderly, heart-warming, and smooth manner.
