Original title: With the optimization and adjustment of the new train operation map, the railway will resume pre-sale of tickets for April 8 and later on April 2
On March 26, the railway department issued an announcement stating that in order to optimize and adjust the operation map in early April, the sale of passenger train tickets starting on April 8 and later will be suspended, and the sale is expected to resume on April 2. In response to the question of many netizens “stopping sales”, the reporter specifically checked with the 12306 customer service staff: the suspension of sales is not because the train will be suspended after April 8, but after the adjustment of the running map, the normal pre-sale will resume.
According to the announcement, the railway department plans to optimize and adjust the passenger train operation map in early April to better meet the travel needs of passengers. In order to effectively prepare for the relevant preparations, the sale of passenger train tickets starting on April 8 and later will be suspended, and the sale is expected to resume on April 2.
Regarding the content of the announcement, some netizens misunderstood, “The tickets after the 8th are not sold? Is the service suspended?” In this regard, the 12306 customer service staff explained that due to the adjustment of the operation map, the number of trains and capacity of some trains will be adjusted. Therefore, the pre-sale of train tickets on and after April 8 was suspended. It is not a suspension of operation. It is expected that the purchase of train tickets for the “new operation map” on April 8 and later will be resumed on April 2.
It was learned from the National Railway Group that from 0:00 on April 8, the national railway will implement a new train operation map. The new plan comprehensively considers the commissioning of new railway lines and the structural adjustment of passenger and freight trains, and accurately allocates transport resources.
