In the early morning, a large number of passengers were stranded at Shanghai Railway Station! What happened? On-site direct hit →

At 3: 45 a.m. on February 2, the streets and alleys in Shanghai were already deserted, but the ground floor of Beiguang yard of Shanghai Railway Station was still crowded with people.

more than two hours ago, Chen Gang (a pseudonym), who came to work in Shanghai for the first time, ended his 27-hour journey and arrived at Shanghai Station smoothly. Under the guidance of the staff, carrying a backpack and carrying a handbag, he went straight into the orderly rest area from the northwest exit, waiting for the first train of Metro Line 1 to leave.

Like him, thousands of passengers who arrived in Shanghai in the early hours of the morning were stranded at the station, brushing their mobile phones or resting against the wall, waiting for the first subway and the first inter-provincial bus to leave.

This is a unique scene of Shanghai Railway Station during Spring Festival travel rush

Every morning

The underground space of the North and South Square of Shanghai Railway Station is brightly lit

Neatly placed small benches, a bucket of instant noodles in 6 yuan, free hot water and charging sockets, commercial charging treasures, and personnel from railway, public security and other departments provide temporary resettlement areas for passengers stranded at night to shelter from the wind and rain and rest at ease.

Chen Gang, 4, who arrived in Shanghai in the early morning at the North and South Square of Shanghai Railway Station

"It's too expensive to take a taxi, but it's unnecessary"

Just after the New Year, she decided to work in Shanghai, driven by her fellow villagers. "The fellow villagers work in a restaurant in Hongqiao, and let me be a chef in the past. The salary is much higher than when I was in my hometown. I want to come out and fight again. "

at about 1: 3 in the morning, Chen Gang took the overtime train for more than 27 hours and arrived in Shanghai from Tianshui, Gansu. The station broadcast is repeated over and over again, reminding passengers who are going to take the morning subway to take a break at the designated place. "The weather in Shanghai is much colder than that in Tianshui." He wrapped up his down jacket, walked along the northwest exit to the North Square of Shanghai Railway Station, and walked into the temporary rest area on the first basement.

in the early hours of the morning, the temperature in Shanghai is close to zero, and the wind is cold. Temporary rest areas are set up in the north and south squares of Shanghai Railway Station. In order to prevent excessive passenger flow pressure, in addition to the underground rest area, South Square also set up a greenhouse on the ground for passengers to rest.

The fellow villagers specially took care of Chen Gang, resting at the station first, and then leaving after the first subway train leaves. Chen Gang entered the rest area of the underground garage, only to see a large open space divided into regular rest areas by iron fences, and plastic benches were neatly placed on the ground. He found a sparsely populated area, put his luggage next to the stool, sat on the bench and brushed his mobile phone against the wall to kill time.

The passengers sit next to him and rest

The passengers wearing heavy winter clothes sit next to him and rest: some passengers are playing with their mobile phones, and some passengers can't stop sleeping, covering their chests with their hands and taking a nap. The 24-year-old Huang Chengyang told reporters with his mobile phone: "This is the third time I took the early morning overtime train. I knew I had to wait and brought my own charging treasure."

lanterns and Chinese knots are hung in the resettlement area, and signs such as waiting area, rest area and taxi class point are clear and eye-catching. In addition to ordinary drinking points, boiled water is also provided free of charge here, and a bucket of instant noodles in 6 yuan is sold. Zhang Xiaomei (pseudonym) told reporters: "This is definitely a conscience price, which is cheaper than selling on the train." She and her husband came to Shanghai by train for more than 4 hours before, and are going to take the inter-provincial bus to Qidong, Jiangsu.

several more trains came into the station one after another, and by 3: in the morning, the stranded passengers in the resettlement area of North Square reached the peak of the day.

"It's too expensive to take a taxi. Although I can afford it, it's unnecessary." Lao Xu, who has worked in Pudong for many years, chose to spend the night at the railway station, thinking of "saving if possible" on the one hand, and thinking of his colleagues in the factory on the other, "It is not convenient for people to get up and open the door so late".

how to ensure stranded passengers in the station area?

"Don't let people who come to Shanghai with hope to struggle down"

Turn back the clock. At 21: the day before, when most passengers were still on the train, Cai Jie, a policeman from the Shanghai Station of Jing 'an Public Security Bureau, took up his post as the patrol team leader.

He got a train schedule: from 23: that day to 6: the next morning, Shanghai Railway Station is expected to arrive at 15 trains. "The management committee of the station area has specially set up a WeChat group, which brings together all the units related to the station, and enjoys the information in time to facilitate the work. The first wave of return peak this year appeared in the early morning of the fifth day of the year, and the number of people increased significantly compared with the same period of last year. It is expected that there will be another peak after the Lantern Festival. " Cai Jie said.

in the memory of the police in the public security police station in Shanghai station area, since 21, it has become a routine job for Spring Festival travel rush, the relevant department of Shanghai, to ensure that passengers stranded in the station area at night after the Spring Festival travel rush overtime train started. Long before the start of Spring Festival travel rush this year, Cai Jie and his colleagues made full preparations, and many of their work was more complete than in previous years. "For example, in the past, a passenger sent a stool, but now the stool has been placed in the rest area in advance and fixed by ropes in series."

Neatly placed empty benches are prepared for stranded passengers in advance

In addition to the underground resettlement area, the ground of the South Square of Shanghai Railway Station has also set up a shed outdoors and set up a serpentine passage to cope with the extreme stranded passenger flow. The on-site staff told reporters that adequate plans should also be made for the safety and fixation of outdoor greenhouses. Once the weather changes badly, all parties will clean up and expand the underground resettlement space in time, and a number of smart devices distributed in key locations can also accurately perceive the passenger flow and hidden dangers in time.

after : 15 today, the overtime train of rail transit line 1 ended its operation. Wang Liping, the taxi driver of Johnson & Johnson, heard the radio call of the motorcade: The company provided subsidies to encourage taxis to pick up guests at Shanghai Station. In the broadcast of the railway station square, the guidance information is being rolled out. The night police of the police station patrol the square back and forth ... < P > "The public security environment in the station area has improved obviously in recent years, especially the pickpocketing cases that occurred frequently in Spring Festival travel rush in the past, which have not happened during the period of Spring Festival travel rush this year." Cai Jie said. Despite this, the police have deployed sufficient forces, including plainclothes people who "mixed" in the crowd to fight against the police. "We can't let people who are full of hope and struggle in Shanghai be disappointed with our public security environment, can we?"

how to evacuate the stranded passenger flow?

"Although everyone is very tired, they will basically queue up consciously"

Near 5 am, the gate of Shanghai Railway Station of Metro Line 3 adjacent to the resettlement area of North Square slowly rises. Chen Gang, Lao Xu and other passengers got up and rushed to the subway station. About 15 minutes ago, the passengers who were resting in the outdoor shed of South Square had passed through the serpentine passage in an orderly manner and left in advance to enter the station hall of Metro Line 1.

although there was no large return passenger flow this morning, the concentrated passenger flow that flocked to the subway station in a short time also had security risks. Cai Jie and his colleagues stationed at the subway entrance in advance, releasing passengers in stages and leaving a buffer zone. After years of participating in Spring Festival travel rush security, Cai Jie felt that "passengers are becoming more and more orderly": "Although everyone is very tired, they will basically queue up consciously, and there are fewer and fewer disputes that need to be resolved by the police."

when entering the rail transit area, the rail transit police who take up their posts in advance are ready. Shen Dong Yun, the police chief of the comprehensive command room of the Shanghai Railway Station Police Station of the Shanghai Public Security Rail Transit Corps, said with a smile that every year Spring Festival travel rush takes an "early shift": "He will arrive at his post before 4: 3 every day. At about 4: 45, the shutter door at the entrance of Line 2 of Metro Line 1 connecting the South Square of Shanghai Railway Station will be opened in advance. We must organize stranded passengers to complete the security check before the first bus operation and enter the platform in an orderly manner. "

Cai Jie and his colleagues are stationed at the subway entrance in advance.

The first thing to do, Shen Dong Yun will observe the situation of the west hall with the largest passenger flow outside the station before the subway opens, and decide to take corresponding flow restriction measures according to the data and the instantaneous passenger flow at the station. "When I was in Spring Festival travel rush, some passengers didn't know that the items brought from their hometown could not actually enter the subway area, such as fireworks and firecrackers." Shen Dong Yun told reporters that this phenomenon has greatly improved in recent years. "On the one hand, the railway security inspection is stricter, and many contraband items have been detected before boarding the train. On the other hand, everyone is more familiar with the regulations prohibiting the burning of fireworks and firecrackers in Shanghai."

in order to improve the efficiency of security inspection at the entrance in the case of extremely large passenger flow, the rail transit police have also formulated a security plan. Just like the airport, large bags, large snakeskin bags and irregular parcels are randomly checked by hand-held devices with metal detectors at the main partitions, and then checked by security machines at the security checkpoints.

Cai Jie and his colleagues were stationed at the entrance of the subway

5 o'clock in advance. The transfer passages of Metro Line 1 and Line 3 were opened, and Chen Gang walked along the transfer passages to the waiting platform of Line 1. For him, the slightly long trip to Shanghai is about to reach the end, and the new year's hard work is about to start.
