On June 25, the much-watched Lalin Railway was officially opened to traffic, ending the history of no trains in southeastern Tibet.

As of July 25, the Lalin Railway has transported 106,000 passengers, with an average of 3,500 passengers per day. Taking the Fuxing Plateau EMU has become the first choice for local people to travel.
According to the person in charge of the Lhasa Railway Station, during the summer vacation, the passenger flow of the Lalin Railway is mainly for tourism, family visits, migrant workers and students.

Compared with the previous automobile transportation, almost half of the time was saved from Lhasa to Nyingchi, and more than two hours were saved from Shannan to Nyingchi. The advantage of rail transportation was immediate.
Not only is the speed faster, but the travel experience has also been greatly improved.
In the past, the only way to travel from Lhasa to Nyingchi was by car. Not only was the speed slow, the experience was poor, and the safety risk was high.
After the opening of the Lalin Railway train, the Fuxing Plateau EMU was used, making travel more comfortable.
In terms of hardware, the Fuxing Plateau EMU is fully equipped with advanced equipment, oxygen supply equipment, toilets, electric tea stoves, etc. The train broadcast also continuously broadcasts the location and usage of these equipment, which is convenient for passengers.

In terms of software, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Group has selected a group of flight attendants with good image, professional service and rich service experience to take the Fuxing Plateau EMU. Not only can they meet the common needs of passengers, but they can also provide translations after special training. , Tour guides, medical care and other services to provide convenience for travellers of all ethnic groups.
The geological conditions of the Lalin Railway are complicated, and how to ensure operational safety is the top priority.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway Group Company comprehensively strengthens the maintenance of the equipment of the Fuxing Plateau EMU. When the locomotives are in and out of the warehouse, the vehicle's professional technicians will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the car seats, air conditioners, oxygen generators, toilets and other service facilities; the locomotive is in operation. , On-board equipment analysts conduct uninterrupted remote monitoring and analysis of on-board LKJ equipment, and notify the Lhasa duty officer to get on the vehicle for inspection as soon as the problem is found.
Since the opening of the Lalin Railway, the good rate of locomotive equipment out of the warehouse has maintained 100%.
The Lalin Railway covers an area of 226,000 square kilometers, accounting for 18.4% of the total area of the Tibet Autonomous Region; directly benefiting 1.31 million people, accounting for 38.2% of the total population of Tibet.
The opening of the Lalin Railway to traffic has made up for the shortcomings of existing transportation methods that are easily affected by the plateau climate, and improved the accessibility and stability of transportation.
