12306 New rules for standby ticket purchase: Up to 60 trains can be added to an order, and the time selection range is expanded.

China Railway officially announced today that starting from 0:00 on January 11, the Railway 12306 website (including mobile clients) will optimize and upgrade the standby ticket purchasing function. This upgrade will increase the number of waiting orders and alternatives, and expand the range of redemption time options for waiting orders. At the same time, temporarily added passenger train seats will be given priority to passengers who have submitted waitlisted orders, aiming to further increase the success rate of waitlisted ticket purchases. This move will provide passengers with a better ticket purchasing experience and facilitate their smooth travel arrangements.

China Railway officially reminds passengers that the Railway 12306 website is the only official online train ticket sales platform and has not authorized any third-party platform to sell train tickets. Using third-party platforms to purchase tickets may bring traps such as surcharges, bundled sales services, and even the risk of leaking personal privacy information. Therefore, please be sure to purchase tickets through official railway channels.

According to the official introduction, the upgrade of the 12306 waitlist ticket purchase function has been mainly optimized in four aspects. This site summarizes it as follows:

• First, we can increase the number of waiting orders. Each passenger can now submit up to six standby orders to be honored, and up to nine passengers can be added to each order.

• After the optimization and upgrade, the number of alternatives has been increased when passengers submit waitlisted orders. Originally, passengers could choose two adjacent travel dates, and each date could choose 5 "train and seat" combinations, with a maximum of 10 combinations. Now, passengers can choose any 3 travel dates during the pre-sale period, and can choose up to 60 "date-train" combinations in total, and each train can choose multiple seats. Such optimization and upgrades provide passengers with more choices and flexibility.

• In order to improve the flexibility and convenience for passengers, we have adjusted the range of waiting order redemption time options. Originally, the latest redemption time was 2 hours before driving, but now we have shortened this time to 20 minutes before driving. In this way, passengers can more flexibly choose to modify the redemption time according to actual conditions, which improves travel convenience.

• New passenger train seats will be allocated first to passengers who have submitted waiting orders. When passengers submit waiting orders, they can choose to purchase new passenger train tickets that meet their travel needs. For example, if the railway department temporarily adds new passenger trains, when tickets go on sale, Railway 12306 will automatically give priority to passengers who have submitted waiting orders. Passengers do not need to manually check the additional train information before purchasing tickets.

##This year’s Spring Festival travel tickets will go on sale on January 12, but it is worth mentioning that on New Year’s Eve (2 Tickets for January 9) will go on sale on January 26. If you need it, remember to choose standby ticket purchase in time.
