China News Service, Xining, November 5 (Qi Zengbei, Changqing) China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Qinghai-Tibet Group Company) released information on the 5th that in accordance with the train schedule reform requirements of the China Railway Group, the company will adjust the passenger and freight train schedules in two batches on November 25 and late December. Before purchasing tickets and shipping, passengers and cargo owners can check the train numbers and departure times through official platforms, station announcements, etc., to avoid mistaken purchases, incorrect rides, and incorrect shipments of goods.

The first batch of new trains will start operating at 0:00 on November 25th for regular buses and trucks at 18:00 on November 24th; the second batch will be scheduled for late December. After the train schedule adjustment, the train operating sections and operating times will remain basically unchanged, and the original passenger and freight services will remain stable.

According to reports, the first batch of new train tickets have been on sale since November 11, and relevant information has been updated simultaneously on the 12306 and 95306 platforms. Original services such as silent carriages, reservations for key passengers, and transportation of key materials into Tibet remain unchanged.

This reform has redefined train prefixes: the Z prefix is ​​retained for ordinary speed trains with a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour; the original T prefix and trains with a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour are changed to N prefixes; the original K prefix and ordinary speed trains with a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour are uniformly changed to V prefixes; freight trains uniformly use the B prefix, and EMU express trains use the DH prefix to intuitively distinguish train types and speed levels from train numbers.

This train schedule reform involves the change of many key trains within the management of the Qinghai-Tibet Group Corporation. Many regular-speed trains from Golmud to Mahai, Lhasa to Linzhi, Xining to Golmud, etc. have been adjusted from K-prefixed and pure number trains to V-prefixed trains; Zhengzhou, Hohhot, Shanghai The inter-bureau K-prefixed trains to and from Xining in Hainan, Hangzhou, Chengdu West, Shenzhen East, Shenyang, Kunming and other places will be uniformly changed to V-prefixed trains; Beijing West-Xining T175/176 will be changed to N73/74, and the train operating sections and arrival times will not change.
