2018 has entered April. After the Qingming Festival, what we are looking forward to most is the May Day holiday. So what's the schedule for the May 1 holiday in 2018? What's your plan for May 1? When can I book the May 1 train ticket? Let's take a look at the following article.
According to the 30 day pre-sale period of online and telephone booking, from March 31, passengers can purchase train tickets for the first day of the May Day holiday in 2018 through online and telephone booking channels.
According to the notice on the arrangement of some holidays in 2018 previously issued by the general office of the State Council, this year's Labor Day is from April 29 to May 1, with a holiday for rest, and on April 28 (Saturday).
It should be noted that the starting time for Internet and telephone booking is not the same in different stations. At present, there are 21 ticket release time points. From 8:00 to 18:00, each full point and half point has new tickets.
For example, Beijing West, Nanjing, Nanjing South and other stations will be sold at 8:00, Chengdu East, Dongguan, Urumqi and other stations at 8:30, Lanzhou, Shenzhen North, Shenyang north and other stations at 9:00, Shenzhen, Shenyang, Qingdao and other stations at 9:30, Beijing, Guiyang, Harbin West, Shenzhen East and other stations at 10:00;
In addition, from April 28 to the end of 2018, the railway department will further expand the discount on the down floating price of some bullet trains under the management of the railway bureau group company, straighten out the price comparison between seats, further improve service measures, and improve the sense of tourists' travel.
Specifically, we will implement different forms and different ranges of discount for 28 intercity rail multiple unit train fares from Guangzhou to Zhuhai, Hainan roundabout, Nanjing to Anqing, Dandong to Dalian, Qingdao to Rongcheng, Zhengzhou to Kaifeng, Wuhan to Xiaogan. The maximum discount range will be increased from 10% of the pilot in the early stage to 20%.
It is reported that this is another large-scale implementation of fare concessions since the floating pilot of 14 EMU train operating lines under the management of Railway Bureau Group Company was carried out at the end of 2017.
At the same time, in order to further improve the travel experience of passengers, the railway department will also optimize and launch a series of service measures. It includes further enriching 12306 service content, increasing and improving services such as on-time and late information, on-site navigation, key passenger appointment, lost item search, etc. on the basis of providing information services such as excess ticket inquiry, online meal ordering and Internet seat selection; providing station car WiFi service and improving passenger experience at major high-speed railway stations nationwide, etc.
