Train T99A query.
Jun 12, 2011 08:36
My query is quite simple and straight forward ! I know that train T99 goes in on every alternate day from Shanghai to HongKong via Guangzhou, Jinhua(West). Is there a different train schedule for train T99A. I am looking forward to boarding this train from Jinhua(West) to Guangzhou on 14th June 2011, would i be able to catch this train or should i look at other options, I am looking at reaching Guangzhou the next day morning.

Your help would be highly appreciated.

Regards
renegademaster !

GUEST8136 It doesn't matter whether you take T99A or T99B if you just want to Guangzhou. The train that departs on odd dates will go to Hong Kong but it also passes by Guangzhou. It will just go to Guangzhou on even dates.

Actually, there are other trains from Jinhua to Guangzhou. You may choose one of them if you can't buy the T99 ticket.

do you mean that train t99a and/or t99b will pass through Jinhua everyday ? so if i intend on leaving tomorrow i.e: 14th June 2011, will i get a ticket on this train. the reason is this train timing is very convenient.

Yes. But I am not sure if you can get the ticket just one day in advance. Do not worry. There are some other trains that run from Jinhua to Guangzhou too.

The biggest problem is language barrier. The staff at the railway station may not speak English. Therefore, it's a bit difficult for you to communicate with them. Here is a solution. Please write down your train number on a paper and give it to the staff. She/he will understand this.

However, sometimes the tickets are sold out. Therefore, you need to tell them you want to take other trains. In this case, I am afraid that you both may not understand each other because they don't speak English. You may ask online agencies to buy tickets for you.
