Hi, since the train schedule has changed, the train stops service now. There is no direct train between Yichang and Zhangjajie now. You can also choose to transfer in Xiangyang or change another transport way.

I found it in a time schedule on the state Chinese website, but no options for booking. And one more question: is it very full, i.e. can we find tickets?

The train doesn't operate now according to the real-time train schedule so I'm afraid you need to change your travel plan.

As I read online, travelers will get off at the a place near Yichang downtown. You may consider to stay one night in Yichang as there are only 2 direct train to Zhangjiajie, one at 00:42 and one at 13:08. The time should not work for your arival on Yichang by curises. You may stay in Yichang for one night and take the short time stopover for a visit of the city or museum if you like.
