The railway department reminds passengers that railway passenger flow is large during the holidays, and demand may be "clustered" in certain areas and time periods. The railway department will strengthen real-time monitoring of ticket amounts, dynamically analyze railway passenger flow conditions, scientifically formulate ticketing strategies, coordinate the needs of long- and short-distance passengers, and timely release ticket amounts to stations with concentrated passenger flow to strive to ensure passenger holiday travel needs.
Passengers who have not purchased tickets yet are advised to make full use of the railway 12306 waitlist ticket purchase function and maximize the use of 60 "date + train" ticket purchase combinations. The more combinations selected, the higher the waitlist success rate. The railway department will promptly increase the supply of transportation capacity in the direction of concentrated passenger flow based on waitlist demand data. All new tickets will be given priority to passengers who have submitted waitlist ticket purchase orders. Selecting "Accept new trains" can further increase the ticket purchase success rate. The advance payment for each waitlisted ticket purchase order is calculated based on the highest ticket amount among the waitlisted demands, and will be settled based on the actual ticket price after the waitlist is successful.
