You may check the schedule often in the following days. Once it back to service, we will add them on our website too. If not, you may need to consider flight instead.
There will be counters in service from early morning. You can reach the station about 1 hour in advance for the ticket collection. Or you can also use our delivery service which will be more convenient. We will arrange the delivery to your hotel in advance. The express will reach your hotel about 1 or 2 days before your hotel checkin date. You can collect the express from hotel once you get there.
