On the question of booking a passing train ticket, who has booked a passing train ticket after 1 6, and has a seat or a sleeper?

Coincidentally, I just booked a ticket (no, a set) for my friend from Tangshan to Shanghai on 1 7. The whole booking process was also thrilling. I won't elaborate on what the experience is here, so let's share it with you!

Booking requirements for friends: 1 month 7, starting from Tangshan and ending in Shanghai; Shanghai must arrive before 1 1 am (because he has an appointment with the hospital), and Tangshan had better not arrive before 8: 30, because it is too early to catch the train station, and there is no long-distance bus, so it is not worthwhile to take a taxi.

This is a difficult job. 1 7 is the eve of Spring Festival travel rush, and the tourists didn't come, so the students may have a holiday in advance. ...

According to the online search, there are only two trains that meet the arrival and departure conditions: 1, K78/K75 from Changchun to Ningbo East, 9: 53 in Tangshan, 5: 20 in Shanghai, 2, 134 1 from Qiqihar to Hangzhou, and 10 from Tangshan.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 28th, we began to prepare, check and confirm the appointment time and method. The difficulty of booking this time is that they are all through trains, K78/K75 belongs to Shenyang Railway Bureau, and 1344/ 134 1 belongs to Harbin Railway Bureau. There are no reserved seats and sleeping berths in Tangshan. Whether you can book a ticket depends on whether there are passengers who get off at Tangshan (this is the only way to book a through train like this).

After investigation, the pre-sale period of Harbin Railway Bureau is still ten days (mainly knowing when Qiqihar will buy tickets), and the pre-sale period of Shenyang Railway Bureau is ten days now, but the telephone booking is twelve days (mainly knowing when Changchun will buy tickets).

I suddenly realized that I had bought tickets for Changchun all day. Let's calculate, it's true that Changchun booked tickets by phone yesterday and started pre-selling. Those who booked tickets early should have got the tickets long ago. Call and book a ticket from Tangshan to Shanghai K78 immediately. (Note: At present, telephone booking in Beijing is 1 1 day, while online and window booking is only 10 day. ) Call back, there is no ticket, am I miscalculated? Internet search shows that there are only scattered seatless tickets from Tangshan to Shanghai on 1 May 5, and there are no seatless tickets on 1 May 6. After investigation, the booking time of all modes of Beijing Bureau is 9: 00, so it can be concluded that Beijing Bureau has not started buying.

1 28 at 9: 00 sharp, the internet was connected with the telephone ... but the webpage opened slowly ... and the telephone didn't respond, which really made me want to smash these JB things.

-Online search shows that there are scattered seats and no seats on the 6th, but there are still no tickets on the 7th.

-Telephone booking terminal, after repeated dialing, finally connected, until around 9: 04, K78 still had no tickets. My heart is cold!

More than twenty minutes have passed before you know it! Is it true that I miscalculated, or did Changchun not release tickets? Check it online again. Check the train ticket from Tianjin to Shanghai on the 7th. There is nothing, not only this train, but also other trains except those bird trains. Check Jinan to Shanghai again, the train has tickets (7 hard sleepers, the longest pre-sale period on Jinan Railway Bureau 1 1 day). I quickly contacted my friend, "Is it ok to go from Jinan to Shanghai?" (This is what I used to do when booking tickets for my friends at the ticket office: buy tickets in stages, sit in front for a while, and then sleep later), he hesitated. I said, I can't find this car, and I can't say anything else. Why don't I check for you? He agreed, because my friend insisted on not taking the bullet train, and the Beijing Bureau didn't start selling tickets online, so I had to book a train from Tangshan to Jinan by phone (except this train, it must leave after 8: 30 in Tangshan and arrive in Jinan before K75). But within ten minutes of my efforts to book tickets by telephone, there is no ticket for K75 from Jinan to Shanghai ...!

Really depressed! For many years, I thought I knew all about railway booking. I never worried about train tickets, and even Spring Festival travel rush never missed them. Why, I have a friend at the ticket office! But a few days ago, my buddy told me that it may not be easy to buy tickets in Spring Festival travel rush this year, because the pre-sale time of their ticket outlets may be shorter than that of telephone and online ticket sales. I was a little skeptical at the time. I checked online, and I really don't know what the boss is playing, because in this way, my buddy has no risk of losing his job.

You dare not tell me that my friend didn't get a ticket. First of all, I'm embarrassed. Second, there is a glimmer of hope-it is possible to book a ticket for 1344. Calm down and sum up:

After tossing for nearly a day, I didn't get a ticket, but in the process of constantly inquiring about the remaining tickets between stations, I found that: 1, the longest booking time of a station = the longest booking time of the railway bureau to which the station belongs. For passing cars, it depends on when the tickets will be released at the departure station, because only when the tickets are released at the departure station and someone has to get off before you get on the bus can you book a relay ticket. 3. From my repeated search for tickets for 1344 in one day, I found that there were no tickets, so the ticket release time of the departure station and the intermediate station may be out of sync. In other words, only the starting station has bought the ticket, and the relay ticket for the intermediate station may be bought the next day. It's purely personal and not completely reliable, but the experience of the next day may have added a lot of weight to my inference.

At 8: 55 the next day (65438+February 29th), log in to 12306 and go in three minutes later. At nine o'clock sharp, I clicked "Inquiry", and the train finally got tickets, but the word "Yes" was rare. Take a closer look, only one of 1344 does not. Click "Book Tickets" at once-12306. You're kidding me. There is no contact I have prepared, and "I don't remember what my contact needs to maintain" appears.

Click "Booking" again, then enter: originating station: Tianjin terminal: Shanghai, select the date and click "Query". It's broken. There are only two tickets left. Click "Booking". Fortunately, there is a contact this time. Select the contact, verify the code, click Submit and confirm. 12306 crashed again. Log in again. Fortunately, the order is still there. Enter the payment. Continuous errors, less than 10 minutes left, refreshed the online banking, did not enter the "online banking shield" payment page, so I had to choose the unfamiliar online direct payment function, the last four digits of the phone, the phone verification code and so on. Finally, the payment was successful within 30 minutes.

After the bank sent me the news that the payment was successful, I also pressed the 12306 button, but there was no news of 12306 for the next 30 minutes-that is, there was no text message and no mail in the mailbox. I called 12306 customer service, and the busy signal lasted for half an hour. I didn't call in, so I logged in again. Who else can I talk to?

Then I went to 12306 and booked a seatless ticket for my friend on 1344 from Tangshan to Tianjin, so that I could get on the bus directly without reversing, but 12306 could not book it. Only then did I understand the true meaning of the stipulation that "a valid identity document is limited to one ticket for the same train on the same boarding date". Fortunately, there are many buses from Tangshan to Tianjin, and some of them can buy tickets. I also booked the 4424 train from Tangshan to Tianjin, which went well this time and had seats. The text message also came and the email was sent.

Today, my friend got two reversing tickets without reversing. Smile and say: thank you! I had to give a wry smile and didn't even dare to say "come to me next time." ...
