With many train tickets already sold out for the day before the National Day holiday, the railway authority is adding more trains on popular routes to better meet the travel needs of passengers. Based on ticket pre-sales, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are ranked as the top three cities for both departures and arrivals. From September 29 to October 1, multiple additional passenger trains will be scheduled. Guangzhounan Railway Station is expected to add about 1,000 trains, with Guangzhou to Nanning, Guangzhou to Zhanjiang, and Guangzhou to Shantou among the top ten routes with heavy passenger traffic nationwide. From September 29 to October 8, CR-Xi'an is expected to transport 5.7 million passengers, with October 1 and 7 being peak travel days. To meet the demand, CR-Xi'an plans to add 62.5 pairs of trains, focusing mainly on routes from Xi'an to Beijing, Shanghai, Taiyuan and Chengdu. Additionally, a nighttime high speed train from Xi'an to Wuhan will be launched for the first time.
This National Day holiday, the newly developed Fuxing intelligent EMU sleeper train will begin service on the Beijing-Hong Kong and Shanghai-Hong Kong routes starting October 1. The train consists of 16 cars, with an upgraded power supply compared to the current Beijing-Hong Kong and Shanghai-Hong Kong CRH sleeper trains, and the maximum operating speed has been increased from 250 km/h to 300 km/h.
