And what is the story behind the Trains No.?:) T is the first letter of Te Kuai(express) in CHinese. WE also have Z as in Zhida(non-stop),L as in Linshi(temperary),K as in Kuai(fast train) and some without capital letters which are normal train. From the Numbers follow, you can tell the direction of the trains.say even number-the trains point to Beijing. odd number-opposite. Btw,I think train is the cheapest way.
