Guangzhou Railway Group adds 702 trains as holiday return peak builds
Коротко
China Railway Guangzhou Group expected to send 2.835 million passengers on October 6, the sixth day of the National Day and Mid-Autumn holiday, an increase of 617,000 or 27.8% from the same period in 2025. The group planned to run 3,835 trains that day, 702 of them added, and planned 401 extra night high-speed trains in the early hours of October 7.
Почему это важно
The figures show the return-leg peak of a major Chinese holiday travel period running well above last year's level, with capacity added on trunk routes into Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Changsha and Wuhan. For travellers, the added daytime and overnight services are the practical response to that demand; the documents do not indicate how the volumes compare with the rest of the holiday.
