With the opening of the Spring Festival, the annual population migration is staged again. Railway stations and high-speed rail stations are crowded, and people are on their way home with longing for home. And in this vast migration, the ticket purchase link is undoubtedly the "first hurdle" that everyone has to face. Recently, some attentive passengers found that when the ** ticket purchase platform shows "no ticket", there are still remaining tickets at the self-service ticket vending machine at the railway station, what is going on?
In response to this question, the technical person in charge of railway 12306 gave a professional answer. It turns out that the ticket source and ticket library of 12306** and the self-service ticket vending machine are exactly the same, and there is no situation where the ticket is left separately for the self-service ticket vending machine. So, why is there a "strange phenomenon" of online no tickets and more than self-help?
In fact, this is the result of the combination of differences in the network environment and dynamic changes in the remaining ticket information. In rare cases, network latency or asynchronous data transmission may result in brief inconsistencies in the number of available tickets displayed across different ticketing channels. This is like a ticket for the same show, and there may be a temporary inconsistency in the number of tickets available at different ticket outlets due to the time difference in information transmission.
But don't worry, this happens very rarely and lasts for a very short time. In most cases, the availability of 12306** and the self-service ticket machine is fully synchronized. In order to ensure the accuracy and safety of ticket purchase, the railway department reminds passengers that they must purchase tickets through the official channels of the railway, and look for the official app of 12306 and "Railway 12306".
Here, it has to be mentioned that 12306, as the only official train ticket online ticketing platform of China Railway, has first-class technical strength and service level. During the peak period of the Spring Festival, in the face of the demand of hundreds of millions of people to buy tickets, 12306 was still able to maintain stable operation and efficient response speed, which is inseparable from strong technical support and the hard work of the team.
In addition to technical support, the railway department has also taken a series of measures to improve the travel experience of passengers during the Spring Festival travel period. For example, at major stations in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, refund and change windows and youth volunteer service personnel have been added to facilitate passengers to handle relevant procedures and consult questions. At the same time, additional personnel have been assigned to key places such as platforms, entrances, and elevators at major railway stations to strengthen safety guidance and maintain order in stations and trains.
In addition, local railway departments also dynamically adjust the delivery of transportation capacity according to the passenger flow situation to meet the travel needs of passengers to the greatest extent. For example, in the management of the Beijing Bureau Group Company, passenger trains in multiple directions have been added; Shanghai Bureau Group Company plans to add more than 500 passenger trains and reconnect nearly 300 EMU trains; Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd. has opened a night high-speed rail in the popular direction according to the distribution of migrant workers.
The implementation of these measures not only effectively alleviates the transportation pressure during the Spring Festival travel period, but also makes the journey home smoother and warmer for passengers. Of course, it is also inseparable from the hard work and silent dedication of every railway worker.
Going back to our original question, while the lack of tickets online and self-service is only a "small episode" in rare cases, it also reminds us to remain calm and patient when purchasing tickets. If you encounter a "no ticket" situation when purchasing tickets on **, you may wish to try other ticket purchase channels or try again later. Maybe you'll be the next lucky winner!
In short, in the big test of the Spring Festival, the railway department not only spoke with strength, but also interpreted the purpose of "people's railway for the people" with action. As passengers, we should give them more understanding and support while enjoying convenient travel. Let's praise the hard work of the railway department and cheer for our smooth homecoming!
