[Explanation] The 2022 Spring Festival Transport officially started on January 17.

At 8:00 on the morning of the 17th, the C891 train from Lhasa to Shigatse slowly left the station, officially kicking off the prelude to the Spring Festival in Tibet. The Spring Festival in Tibet entered the era of motor trains for the first time.

　　On the morning of the same day, the Lhasa Railway Station held the launching ceremony of the "Tianlu Gesanghua" service and the establishment ceremony of the "Gelsanghua" youth volunteer service team.

It is understood that the establishment of the "Gesanghua" service brand is to practice the service tenet of "People's Railway for the People", and at the same time to better ensure the safe travel of passengers during the Spring Festival.

　　Our Lhasa Railway Station and all the lines (stations) along the Lalin section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway strictly implement the service brand concept of "Tianlu Gesanghua" during the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival travel period, three emergency ticket windows were added.

In addition, we provide free stretchers, oxygen, wheelchairs and other services for special passengers to ensure a safe, orderly and warm Spring Festival.

　　[Explanation] A group of special passengers were also welcomed at Lhasa Station that day. They stepped on the Fuxing train bound for Nyingchi in different Tibetan festival costumes.

They are the advanced typical representatives of ethnic minorities in the Tibet Autonomous Region who participated in the experiential activity of "Welcome to the Spring Festival of Ethnic Unity and One Family" on Xintian Road.

　　The first time I took the train was in the Mainland, it was very early, so I didn’t feel anything special about taking the train in the Mainland, because (the railway) is connected in all directions, but I never thought that there are trains everywhere in Tibet now. , Tibet has really changed dramatically, especially today (taking) a train like Fuxing, which is different from other trains. It is also my first time to take it.

In order to participate in such an event today, I also specially put on my festive costumes anyway.

　　[Explanation] In the dispatch center of Lhasa Station, the staff stared at every display screen, and the urgent phone rang from time to time.

In addition to keeping an eye on the situation at Lhasa Station, the dispatch center also needs to pay attention to the situation along the Lalin Railway and at each station. During the Spring Festival travel period, their tasks are particularly heavy.

　　The average altitude of the Lalin section of the railway is more than 3,000 meters. The geographical conditions are relatively special, and the proportion of bridges and tunnels is relatively large. The operation safety of this line is even more important.

In order to ensure the safety of this railway line, our dispatch and command center conducts safety inspections of each station area through remote video.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that during the Spring Festival travel period this year, Lhasa Station is expected to send 200,000 passengers, an average of about 5,000 passengers per day, an increase of 7% year-on-year.
