How long does it usually take for a train to get a ticket?

It usually takes 2 hours to make an appointment to grab tickets, and it will take 1-2 days under special circumstances.

When grabbing tickets, it is recommended to enter the software a few minutes before the ticket is released on site. When the ticket is about to be released, keep refreshing the page, so it is still possible to grab the ticket. If it really doesn't work, you can also choose a standby ticket. When a passenger goes through the formalities of refund or change, the system will automatically snap up tickets for passengers who meet the demand.

Tickets are usually released 15 days before the train leaves, and there is no accurate time to release tickets. The station is different, and the ticket release time is different. Generally, tickets will be stopped 2 hours before departure.

If the ticket is successfully grabbed, the system will notify the passengers by SMS. If the passenger does not receive the SMS notification, it means that the ticket has not been successfully grabbed and needs to wait.

Booking skills:

1. If the ticket you want to buy shows no ticket status on the ticketing software, search whether there are any tickets from the starting point to the end point. If there are still tickets, the price doesn't matter, you can go straight to grab them.

2. You can also go to official website Railway Bureau to choose a standby order first, or you can choose to submit more standby orders for other trains.
