Hard sleeper instead of hard seat is a special type of seat in railway passenger transport, which usually appears in the Spring Festival transportation period, and it is often difficult to find a ticket, so no seat has become the choice of many passengers during the Spring Festival every year. And to alleviate the situation, the railway department will convert some of the hard sleeper cars into hard seats to provide more seats. In the case of this hard sleeper instead of hard seat, the four positions of ABCD have their own characteristics.
A seat: Usually by the window, for travelers who like to enjoy the scenery outside the window, seat A is undoubtedly a good choice. During a long journey, you can enjoy the pleasure of traveling while enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window. However, window seats also have their drawbacks, such as being less convenient to get in and out, especially when other passengers need to pass through frequently.
Seat B: Usually in the middle of a three-person seat. This position is neither by the window nor by the aisle, which is relatively awkward. Because there are people on both sides, it can feel crowded, and if the passengers on both sides are strangers, it may feel a little cramped. In addition, since seat B is located in the middle, it is necessary to get up and make way for othersIt can be a hassle for passengers to get through.
C seat: In the case of a hard sleeper instead of a hard seat, the C seat is usually aisle. The advantage of this location is the ease of access, especially for travelers who need to get up and move frequently. However, aisle seats have their drawbacks, such as the possibility of being disturbed by passing passengers, and the fact that luggage and belongings are not safe to place next to the seats.
D seats: It is not common in the layout of hard sleepers instead of hard seats, because usually the hard seats converted into hard seat cars are ABC three-seat layouts. However, if a D seat exists, it may be a special seat type, e.g. it may be an extra seat or located at the junction of the carriages. The characteristics of this location may vary depending on the specific layout of the carriages.
In addition to the ABCD four positions, there are some other considerations for the hard sleeper. First of all, since the space of the hard sleeper compartment is relatively large, the space for each seat after changing to a hard seat will also be more spacious, which is good news for passengers who travel long distances. Secondly, due to the special nature of the hard sleeper instead of hard seats, the facilities and services in the carriage may be different from ordinary hard seat carriages. For example, there may not be a dedicated crew to patrol the carriage or provide services such as food and beverages. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare and understand accordingly when choosing a hard sleeper instead of a hard seat.
Overall, each of the four ABCD positions has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the specific choice of which position to choose depends on the individual's preferences and needs. If you prefer quiet and are interested in the view from the window, you can choose a seatIf you need to get up and move around often, or if you need to get in and out easily, you can choose the C seatIf you don't mind being a little crowded and want to keep a distance from other passengers, you can choose a B seatIf a D seat is available and meets your personal needs, you can also consider it. However, no matter which location you choose, you need to be prepared and understood accordingly in order to better enjoy the fun and convenience of the trip. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the relevant regulations and requirements of the railway department to jointly create a safe, comfortable and harmonious travel environment.
