Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese and the busiest migration time of the year. However, this year's Spring Festival has become a painful experience for many travelers waiting to return home at Hangzhou East Railway Station. Bad weather in the Yangtze River Delta region has caused a large number of train delays, and Hangzhou East Railway Station is overcrowded and has almost no place to stay.
1. Bad weather when returning home during the Spring Festival.
For many travelers, going home for Chinese New Year is the most anticipated thing of the year. However, this year's Spring Festival has become a nightmare for many people because of the bad weather in the Yangtze River Delta region. Heavy snow, freezing and other weather factors caused train delays, and a large number of passengers were forced to stay at the station.
2. Hangzhou East Railway Station is overcrowded.
Due to train delays, the number of ** at Hangzhou East Railway Station has reached an unprecedented peak. Dense crowds crowded every corner of the station, making what should have been a warm and peaceful journey home extremely difficult.
3. The railway department needs to give early warning.
Faced with this situation, many travelers said that if the railway authorities had informed them in advance at the time of ticket purchase that the high-speed rail might be delayed due to weather, they might have better arranged their trips to avoid such a dilemma. Therefore, it is necessary for the railway authorities to issue early warning information in case of bad weather conditions to allow passengers enough time to make adjustments.
Fourth, the plight and needs of passengers.
Stranded passengers face many difficulties. Many of them were stranded because they couldn't buy tickets, and some were already on the bus but stuck halfway due to the weather. The itinerary of these travelers was disrupted and accommodation became a problem. Travelers, in particular, who have already boarded the bus, face even greater distress because the surrounding hotels are full and they may have to wait for hours to use the restroom.
5. Countermeasures and suggestions.
Faced with this situation, the railway sector should take active measures. First of all, in the event of bad weather, train operation information should be released in advance to allow passengers enough time to make adjustments. At the same time, the station should strengthen the best guidance to ensure the safety of passengers. In addition, the railway authorities should strengthen cooperation with surrounding hotels to provide necessary accommodation for stranded passengers.
VI. Conclusion. The journey home for the Spring Festival was supposed to be warm and smooth, but the bad weather brought endless troubles to many travelers. It is hoped that the railway authorities can learn a lesson and take more comprehensive measures to ensure that every passenger can go home safely and smoothly during the Spring Festival travel period in the future.
