At present, in the "May Day" holiday train ticket sales, according to the train ticket pre-sale rule of 15 days in advance, the tickets for the return trip on May 5 have been opened for purchase on April 21, and the train tickets for the first day of the "May Day" holiday have been on sale on April 17.
On April 21, the reporter inquired on the 12306 website and found that among the five intercity trains from Karamay to Urumqi during the "May Day" period, only the C852 train that departed at 9:55 on May 1 was in a state of no ticket, and the rest of the trains had remaining tickets, and each intercity train to the capital from May 2 to May 5 had remaining tickets.
Passengers with online ticketing plans should note that unlike the station's daily ticketing time, the "Railway 12306" App shows that Karamay Station starts at 9:00 every day.
The reporter also learned that if passengers forget to bring their ID cards during travel, they can apply for "electronic temporary identity certificate" through the "Railway 12306" App. Find the "Temporary Identity Certificate" on the home page of the App, select "Temporary Identity Certificate for Passenger Train", turn on the mobile phone positioning, fill in the name, ID number and other information to apply, and wait for the approval to generate an electronic license, which can be used in ticket sales and refund, ticket verification, train services and other links. It should be noted that each passenger can apply for a maximum of 6 temporary travel status certificates within 1 calendar month.
In the waiting hall of Karamay Station, the Karamay Station Police Station of the Kuitun Public Security Department of the Urumqi Railway Public Security Bureau has set up a "Silver Age" service station, which is specially designed to quickly apply for paper "temporary travel identity certificates" for passengers.
"During the 'May Day' period, the youth service team composed of railway police will wait at various points at the station to provide passengers with services such as police for help, legal popularization and publicity, and green channels for special groups, so as to ensure the smooth travel of passengers during the small and long holidays. Li Zenghui, director of the police station, said.
