Pay attention to the 12306 notice for transfers, and the number of convenient transfer stations in the station has increased to 100

  During peak travel periods such as holidays and Spring Festival travel, passengers sometimes cannot buy direct tickets.

For the convenience of passengers, the railway department has launched a continuous transfer service, and passengers can purchase joint tickets to go to their destinations.

  During the transfer process, some passengers will affect the follow-up itinerary due to train delays, cancellations and other reasons. What should we do when encountering such a situation?

  According to the National Railway Group, in terms of passenger travel information services, the railway department has implemented a railway code scanning service on more than 3,200 EMU trains across the country.

By scanning the "railway code" on the armrest of the seat, passengers can smoothly check whether the train is late. , operating location, connecting train number, traffic connection and other travel service information,

and can also handle services such as catering purchases, supplementary ticket upgrades, and search for lost items.

  At the same time, the railway department has improved the railway 12306 message notification mechanism, and timely pushes the train suspension and change information to passengers who have purchased tickets and reserved accurate contact information, so that passengers can grasp the train operation dynamics and arrange their itineraries reasonably.

  In terms of station and train services, if a passenger refunds due to railway liability or force majeure, the combined ticket can be refunded together, and the refund fee will be waived.

Passengers will no longer be charged a handling fee when handling ticket replenishment, change, etc.; at the same time, the scope of trains with discounted fares in the off-peak direction will be expanded.

  In terms of transit transfer services,

the number of convenient transfer stations in stations across the country has increased from 80 in the past to 100

, making it more convenient for passengers to transfer during the Spring Festival travel season.
