[quote=SIMON,221888]I generally enjoy train travel in China. One can travel to most destinations in relative comfort while viewing the breath-taking scenery. I also enjoy meeting new friends on the train.But there are a few things that make it incovenient:1) One can't buy tickets in advance (more than 2 or 3 days)2) One can't buy round-trip tickets -- therefore tourists (both Chinese and foreign) have to waste valuable time once they reach their destination, in standing in line to buy tickets to get back home again. 3) If one buys hard seat tickets, even if you have a ticket with the seat number on it, sometimes someone else has taken the seat!4) Everyone dashes to get on the train when the gate opens -- dangerous for the old people, little children, pregnant women, and disabled people.5) Usually no English-speaking conductors on train, so foreign tourists may have problems.Is there any hope that these inconveniences can be solved to make traveling more pleasant for everyone -- Chinese and foreigners?[/quote]
