How do you book train tickets in advance from U.K?

We will arrive in Xinggang port on 30/04/2010 and want to travel down to Yichang dock for the Yangtze River cruise by soft sleeper train. How do we get tickets in advance. Are prepared to stay in Xingang one night if required.

GUEST04938 "Xinggang"? Where is Xinggang? Do you mean " Xingang" 新港 in Tianjin? Or it is a new port in other Chinese cities I have never heard of?

The 3 nearest train stations to Xingang (in Tanggu district of Tianjin) would be Tanggu, Tianjin then Beijing.
No direct trains from Tanggu or Tianjin to Yichang, there's one from Beijing: K49 (1353--1125) 21h32min
From the port to Beijing you could take a taxi to either Tanggu or Tianjin train station, then a fast C train to Beijing South train station.
However considering the amount of time needed, it might be better to fly instead!
If you need help with train tickets, email me at ellyse99@yahoo.com and put "TravelChinaGuide" and your own username (eg Kathleen50) in the subject line.
