China Railway General Corporation: the train handles the business of ticket replacement for overtaking station according to the transportation capacity
Recently, the topic of "buying a short train and taking a long train" has become a hot topic. China Railway Corporation said that the railway department will decide whether to go through the procedures of making up the ticket for crossing the station according to the passenger flow.
According to the regulations of railway passenger transport regulations, if the train has transport capacity, it will handle the ticket replacement for the passengers who need it. If the train has no transport capacity, it will stop handling the ticket replacement procedures and guide the passengers to take the train according to the train number, section and seat number indicated on the ticket surface, so as to prevent serious overload and affect the subsequent passengers.
If the passenger does not make up the ticket according to the regulations and forcibly cross the station to take the train, the railway department will charge 50% of the ticket price of the already taken section after arriving at the station. The railway department appeals to the vast number of passengers not to "buy a short ride and take a long ride" and cross the station to jointly maintain a good travel environment so as not to cause personal losses.
Passengers preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival should abide by the relevant regulations on railway operation safety, and do not smoke, make noise or occupy the passageway in high-speed trains. The person in charge of the relevant department of China Railway Corporation said that during the festival, most of the passengers travel in a concentrated way, and most of the busy trunk trains are transported at full load. He called on the majority of passengers to travel in accordance with the regulations, travel in a civilized way, and jointly maintain a good riding order.
