According to China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Co., Ltd., this year's summer transportation period is from July 1 to August 31, a total of 62 days. The passenger flow component is mainly commuting, tourism, family visits, and business travel, and the passenger flow of family parent-child tours, summer research tours, and performances and games has become the core growth point of this year's summer sports, and students and children travel account for a relatively high proportion. The Yangtze River Delta Railway is expected to send 174 million passengers, with an average of 2.8 million passengers per day. During the period, the Yangtze River Delta railway department plans to run 1,341.5 pairs of passenger trains, an increase of 30.5 pairs year-on-year. See ↓ for details
Summer luck
From the perspective of passenger flow trends, due to the impact of the arrangements for the opening of major colleges and universities during the holidays and the return to school in the middle of the semester, the passenger flow will show a "U" shaped trend with high "two ends" at the beginning and end and relatively stable in the middle. Among them, the overall passenger flow in August is greater than that in July, the weekend passenger flow is greater than the mid-week passenger flow, the passenger flow in the tube direction is more concentrated than the through direction, and the EMU train travel is still the first choice. From the perspective of passenger flow, the traditional tourist cities of Beijing, Xi'an, Qingdao and Xiamen; Popular tourist destinations such as Changsha, Yangzhou and Huangshan have become the concentrated direction of this summer passenger flow. In addition, cities with abundant educational resources and red tourism resources, as well as a number of migrant distribution centers, will also show a dense flow of tourists.
It is worth mentioning that since the end of September last year, the Shanghai-Nanjing high-speed railway along the Yangtze River, the Huangchang section of the Hangzhou-Changzhou high-speed railway, the Chihuang high-speed railway, and the third quarter of this year, the first "super ring" high-speed rail train, Shanghai-Hong Kong high-speed rail moving sleeper train will be prepared for the summer transportation for the first time. In the past two years, the Yangtze River Delta Railway has continued to play a role in the increment of new cars on new lines, and the transportation capacity resources have provided strong support for the growth of passenger flow in the summer. During the summer transportation period, on the basis of the implementation of the peak train operation map, Shanghai Bureau Group Company plans to add 16 pairs of passenger trains (including 6 pairs of high-speed EMU trains and 10 pairs of ordinary speed trains) in the direct direction of Nanyang East (Zhengzhou East) ~ Shanghai Hongqiao, Nanchang East ~ Hangzhou West, Qingdao North ~ Shanghai Hongqiao, Liaocheng ~ Jinhua, etc., adjust 2 pairs of train operation sections, and resume 1 pair of suspended trains in the off-season; For the general speed trains entering Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the full marshalling operation plan will be adopted, and the capacity expansion measures such as supplementing the high-speed rail capacity of ordinary speed trains and adding vehicles to ordinary speed trains will be taken in other directions where capacity is tight in a timely manner.
In addition, the new models of 17-car trains and 8-car trains with upgraded technology of Fuxing intelligent EMU have been successively launched on high-speed rail lines in many popular directions such as the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. By adopting lightweight, noise reduction and other technologies and equipment integration, layout optimization and other measures, the new model has increased the number of second-class seats and the total capacity, expanded the space of the large luggage storage area, further enhanced the passenger experience, improved the passenger capacity of the train, and expanded the passenger space.
While ensuring transportation capacity, the Yangtze River Delta railway department continues to optimize service quality. Make good use of the functions of railway 12306 waitlist ticket purchase, online shop selection, pre-filling of ticket purchase information, and subscription notification of starting sales, etc., take into account the travel needs of long-distance and short- and medium-distance passengers, optimize ticketing strategies, and improve passengers' ticketing experience; At present, time-counting tickets and regular tickets have been put into use on six Yangtze River Delta railway tubes and through direction lines, including Shanghai-Sutong Railway, Xulian High-speed Railway, Nanjing-Hangzhou High-speed Railway, Beijing-Hong Kong High-speed Railway, Huangchang Section of Hangzhou-Changzhou High-speed Railway, and Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway. The railway code covers all EMU trains, 19 stations in the Yangtze River Delta can achieve convenient transfers, and 21 stations provide Internet ordering services, so that passengers can have a better travel experience.
The railway department reminds that the details of the additional trains during the summer transportation period should be subject to the station announcement and the 12306 website of the China Railway Customer Service Center; Factors such as flood season, high temperature, typhoon, rainfall, and water hazards may affect train operation and passenger travel, so passengers who need to travel should pay more attention to station announcements, or inquire about train operation information through the 12306 customer service hotline, official website, App and other channels; On the day of the ride, it is appropriate to go out in advance to leave enough time for urban transportation, entry security check and real-name ticket verification, so as not to delay the trip.
