The Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail will resume operation on January 15. Although the online ticketing system 12306 website started selling tickets at 12:00 this afternoon (12th), there are still a large number of citizens flocking to the West Kowloon Station of the high-speed rail to wait in line to buy tickets.

A man was eager to go back to his hometown on the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve to spend the New Year with his wife and daughter, but failed to buy tickets by mobile phone or ticket machine at the station.

He pointed out with a wry smile that if he returned disappointed in the end, he might take the risk of traffic jams and return home by land. .

The Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail resumed operation on Sunday, with a daily limit of 10,000 tickets, 5,000 for the northbound and 5,000 for the southbound.

The online ticketing system 12306 opened for sale at 12:00 noon, and the counters and self-service ticket vending machines at the West Kowloon Station of the High Speed ​​Rail opened two hours later. More than 100 citizens came here before the station opened.

Long queues at ticket counters shift to self-service ticket machines

Mr. Chen arrived at West Kowloon Station of the High Speed ​​Rail before 1:00 p.m. and queued up. He pointed out that he had tried to buy tickets online through the mobile app, but the system was jammed. .

Due to the long queue at the ticket counter, he switched to the self-service ticket vending machine. After queuing for nearly an hour, he finally "touched down".

However, although the ticket vending machine shows that there are still tickets left for multiple departures to Guangzhou South on the evening of the 29th and 30th of the New Year, the system shows that they are all sold out. It is suspected that the system does not reflect the real-time situation.

Mr. Chen finally chose to queue up again. There was still a glimmer of hope for buying tickets at the Jijing counter. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how long I will have to wait. I hope there will be a quick sale when it is my turn."

If the railway fails, it will switch to land: if you say it, you will find a way to go back after the Chinese New Year

Mr. Chen pointed out that he had been separated from his wife and daughter in Kaiping for nearly three years, and hoped that they could be reunited in Xinzhengtou in time.

He mentioned that based on past experience, the New Year's Eve is overcrowded, and there is usually a big traffic jam when passing by land. "I tried it for more than 10 hours, and it will be troublesome because there are many people in the car." It is easier to take the high-speed rail. Budget travel time.

He went on to say that the second choice is a direct bus and an e-hailing car, "(Even if the traffic jam lasts for more than 10 hours, it doesn't matter?) If it's Chinese New Year, I will think of a way to go back."

He also believes that in the initial stage of high-speed rail resumption, it is unreasonable to set up 5,000 tickets for the northbound and southbound routes, because the flow of people going northbound is obviously greater than that going southward, and he believes that the proportion of tickets or the number of trains can be adjusted according to the actual passenger volume.

The MTR announced today the resumption of operation of the Hong Kong section of the high-speed rail this Sunday.

In the initial stage of resumption, short-distance train services will be resumed first, running between West Kowloon Station and Futian, Shenzhen North, and Guangzhou South, and a new station in Guangzhou East will be added.

The intermediate stations include Guangming City, Humen, Qingsheng, and newly added Dongguan South and Dongguan Stations.

In the first stage, tickets for the 15th to 29th of this month (the eighth day of the new year) will be pre-sold.

After the resumption of high-speed rail operation, electronic ticket arrangements will also be fully implemented, and passengers can directly enter the gate and board the train with their certificates.
