Do you know the new rules for train ticket purchase in 2018? The reporter learned from China Railway 12306 that since September 21, the new interval limit for buying train tickets has been added. When two or more train tickets are purchased through the network, telephone, automatic ticket machine, window and other methods, the interval between the two tickets purchased by passengers needs to be more than 40 minutes, otherwise the ticket will fail.
Use 'railway 12306' app to purchase tickets with an interval of less than 40 minutes, and the system prompt screenshot pops up
According to 12306 customer service for example, if the passenger buys the ticket from Beijing south station to Tianjin station at 0:30 today, the train will arrive in Tianjin at 0:30. If the passenger wants to transfer from Tianjin station to other stations, he must buy the ticket after 40 minutes, that is, the ticket after 1:10 that day. If the ticket purchase interval is less than 40 minutes, the system will pop up a prompt: failed to issue the ticket, the interval between the ticket purchased and the ticket purchased is relatively short. In order not to affect your travel, please fully consider various factors affecting the transfer and purchase other trains.
12306 customer service told reporters that the regulation has been officially issued. The reason for the new regulation is that some stations do not have fast transfer service, and some passengers were unable to catch up with the train because they bought two tickets with too short interval.
