I have bought a hard seat train ticket to Xinyang, but I want to grab a berth. Is this ok?

A valid ID card can only buy one ticket on the same ride date and the same train number, except for buying children's tickets for children by using the information of valid ID cards of peers on the bus.

Hard seats can be changed into berth tickets. On the premise that the railway has transportation capacity (that is, tickets can be sold), the change of the ticket only changes the boarding date, number of trains and number of seats (shops), and does not change the departure station and arrival station (except the station in the same city).

Before changing the travel plan, passengers should check whether the train they want to take has enough tickets through 12306 website, 12306 customer service telephone, ticket window display and other channels, so as not to affect their travel due to lack of tickets.

Extended data

There are the following requirements for changing a hard seat into a sleeper.

1, your hard seat ticket hasn't expired, or the train hasn't left yet.

The train tickets for the day you need to sign in must have been sold out, and there must be some berth tickets left.

The train fare of hard seat is cheaper than that of hard berth, so it is necessary to make up the difference when changing hard seat to hard berth to change it normally.
