I went to Tibet this May and i was really eager to experience the new train. Since the Lhasa portion of my itinerary just came across the Labor Holiday, it's totally impossible to get the tickets, even the hard-sleeper tickets. I had to fly to Lhasa and fly back. It was really a great pity for me because that was the only chance i come to China. So here i suggest if you want to try the new train, please do avoid such hot and hot period like Public Holiday etc..
