CTOnews.com reported on December 24 that the 2023 Spring Festival Railway Transportation will begin on January 7 and end on February 15 for a total of 40 days. According to the 15-day pre-sale period of railway tickets, train tickets for the first day of the 2023 Spring Festival travel season will go on sale today. You can buy them through China Train 12306 App or the website.

According to the passenger travel rule, the peak periods of 2023 Spring Festival travel will be December 28 (January 19), December 29 (January 20) and New Year's Eve (January 21). Tickets for these three days will be sold on January 5, January 6 and January 7, 2023, respectively.

The railway department said that with the optimization and adjustment of the national epidemic prevention and control policy, it is expected that during the Spring Festival railway transportation in 2023, the demand for passenger travel such as family visits and tourism, as well as the transport demand for goods such as enterprises returning to work and supply of electricity and coal in winter will further increase.

CTOnews.com reminded that from January 1, 2023 (bus date), children's tickets will be subject to new regulations, children's discount tickets and free rides for children, preferential criteria by age, and real-name management for children passengers.

Children who travel with adults should buy concessionary tickets for children who have reached the age of 6 and under the age of 14; if they have reached the age of 14, they should buy full-price tickets. Every adult passenger who holds a ticket can take a child under 6 years of age and does not occupy a seat alone for free. If there are more than one child, more than one person should buy a child concessionary ticket. We should pay attention to this when buying Spring Festival train tickets for children.

According to previous regulations, children's discount tickets are generally judged only by height: children's tickets can be purchased from 1.2 meters to 1.5 meters, and full-price tickets should be purchased for more than 1.5 meters. With the living conditions getting better and better, many children are growing rapidly, and there are many students who are more than 1.5 meters tall on the primary school campus.

According to reports, the railway department will scientifically formulate a passenger train operation plan in accordance with the principle of "adequate arrangements, starting on demand, rapid response, and emergency preparedness". 6077 pairs of passenger trains will be arranged to operate on the pre-holiday peak day and 6107 pairs of passenger trains will be arranged on the post-holiday peak day, with the maximum passenger capacity increasing by 11% compared with the 2019 Spring Festival transportation before the epidemic. According to the needs, additional EMU trains on the night peak line will be opened in some high-speed rail corridors with tight capacity, and sleeper EMU will be operated on the Beijing-Guangzhou and Hangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed railway to meet the diversified needs of passengers. It is necessary to maintain the operation scale of general-speed passenger trains, continue to do a good job of public welfare slow trains, and ensure the basic travel of people in remote areas. At the same time, according to China Train 12306 ticket pre-sale and alternate data, analyze the passenger travel law, dynamically study and determine the passenger flow trend, echelon arrangement of transport capacity, to achieve accurate matching of transport capacity and demand.

With regard to the measures to facilitate the people and benefit the people, the railway department said that it should implement the newly issued railway passenger transport regulations, introduce preferential fares for children passengers according to their age, and benefit more underage passengers; further expand the scope of application of electronic tickets, fully implement the electronic ticket replacement in the arrival ticket replacement and train replacement business, and improve the 12306 message notification mechanism to timely and accurately push train stoppage and change information to passengers who have already purchased tickets. Due to railway responsibility and force majeure, passengers can refund tickets together with no refund fee; increase the number of stations for Internet food ordering from 55 to 76, covering most EMU trains and long-distance high-speed trains in the country; arrange convenient transfer services at stations from 80 to 100, making passenger transfer more convenient and efficient.

CTOnews.com learned that the railway department has implemented the "Railway Free running" code scanning service on more than 3200 EMU trains across the country. Passengers can smoothly check the train travel service information such as train delay, running location, connecting train frequency, traffic connection and so on by scanning the "Railway Free running Code" on the seat armrest. Student discount tickets can be purchased four times at any time in a school year. Expand the scope and range of discounts for off-peak train fares, so that passengers can get more benefits.
