Customs clearance in the Mainland｜MTR: The number of ticket sales from 3 days before the resumption of high-speed rail depends on whether there is a quota for customs clearance

Hong Kong and the mainland strive to clear the customs before January 15. Zhang Zhiqiang, the director of the MTR transit railway, said on the radio today (30th) that the employees of the East Rail Transit Port and the high-speed rail station have returned to their original jobs and are waiting for the government to officially announce the customs clearance date. Online and station ticketing services will be available 3 days before the resumption of travel.

Zhang Zhiqiang also pointed out that the East Rail Line has been converted to 9 trucks, and the transport capacity has not been reduced. It is believed that it can cope with the crowd after customs clearance. The MTR will closely monitor the passenger flow after customs clearance, and adjust the frequency when necessary.

Cheung Chi-keung mentioned that he has reached an agreement with the mainland to start trial operation of cross-border trains according to the original timetable starting from the 3rd of next month, to test the railway system and let train captains familiarize themselves with the arrangements.

As for the frequency and quota of high-speed rail, it depends on whether there is a quota for customs clearance.

He pointed out that after the opening of the East Rail Line crossing the sea, it can play a role in diverting traffic. In addition, the flow of people during the local morning rush hours does not overlap with transit passengers. He believes that customs clearance will not affect commuters.

He said that at present, the East Rail Line runs every 2 minutes during peak hours. If necessary, the MTR can open additional special trains, and increase the number of trains during non-peak hours.
