What does 12306 waitlist order mean?

The "waiting order" in Railway 12306 means that when you find that there are no tickets for the train you want to buy, you can submit your ticket purchase request to the system. After the payment is successful, if someone refunds the ticket or If you change your ticket, you will have the opportunity to buy the ticket for the train you want to buy.

Waiting order is a newly developed function in 2019 to cope with the Spring Festival travel rush. Because many people will refund or change their tickets due to emergencies when buying train tickets. At this time, people who need to buy tickets have not bought tickets, but the seats are empty again. The railway has formulated a plan based on this actual situation, which is a waiting order.

After you submit your ticket purchase request to the system, if someone suddenly refunds or changes the ticket, or suddenly increases the number of trains, the railway will prioritize the tickets. Passengers in the queue. I think this method is particularly good. It allows people who want to take the train to buy tickets and prevents waste of resources.

How to display the success of "Waiting Order"

If you submit a waiting order application, it will be sent to your mobile phone in the form of text message or WeChat after success. At that time, you can go to the train station to collect the paper ticket and take the train normally.

The success rate of "waiting orders"

According to the staff at the train station, the success rate of waiting orders is around 80%. This means that as long as you submit a waitlist, you have an 80% chance of getting on the train you want to take. This success rate is still very high, so it is a very convenient and fast way for some people to buy tickets.

It is really difficult to buy tickets during the Spring Festival because many people want to go home, so some trains are really difficult to buy. But in 2019, only a small number of passengers will enjoy this service. However, this method is very feasible and will definitely become more and more perfect. I believe more people can enjoy this benefit. When this policy is implemented nationwide, I believe more and more people will benefit, so I really want to give a big thumbs up to the railway staff.
