Hekou North to Kunming

Hi,
I can't find any trains from the 8th to the 12th of October for some reason?
It's not a matter of fully booked trains, it's simply not showing up.
Any idea why? Thanks

Answered by Charley | Sep. 16, 2019 04:31

Yes, indeed. There is no any train in service since that time. It should be the problem of schedule adjustment. I read that the schedule would be adjusted many times a year and they are doing it for some of the routes not. I think this is one of them. They would not cancel the train. You can check again later
