The company recommends to be at the railway station 2h before departure. This may be prudent on a busy day in Shanghai or Beijing, but is unnecessary if you know how the procedure works: Get into the manual check line for a first ticket/passport verification and luggage check, identify the track (and in large railway stations also the level/waiting room) using the train number information (the displays in the railway station do not show the destination in english), and then have a final verification of ticket/passport when the gate opens 15 minutes before departure.

This is the second time i booked train tickets with Travel China Guide. The service i obtained on the first occasion was very good so that i had no hesitation to use the agency again. The service was very good again. The tickets were delivered to my hotel and the trips went on quite smoothly. Non speaking chinese like me are often apprehensive to travel on China trains. There is no reason for that. After you have experienced the process once ( arrival at train staion, separate gate for those holding the "red" tickets,luggage security check, finding your trip information on giant boards, finding the right waiting room /area, separate queue for "red tickets holders for boarding, get to the train platforms and board the train ) you will find the same routine everywhere.
One thing that i found confusing though was the figures indicated on the platforms which are supposed to indicate where your car/wagon will actually stop. Perhaps Travel China Guide could explain this more clearly on its website!!!
I travelled on the G trains. No worry about place to keep your luggage. A medium sized luggage fits in front of your knees while sitting, (unless you are a tall person ) if the luggage racks happened to be full. Very comfortable. Absolutely NO comparison to TGV trains eg Thalys or SNCF in Europe.

The train ride was quite long, while I enjoyed watching the beautiful leaves out of the window. I appreciate your great service and communication. Thanks and look forward to using your service again in the near future.
Any help please
Thank you

Trains should back to service later again but the detailed date is not clear yet. You may recheck the schedule later in mid or late December. Once they back for sale, we will update schedule on our website too. Sorry about the inconvenience.
