'Special' train before Independence Day 2.9

On the last working day before the holiday, there were 14 trains departing from Hanoi station, with 6,730 passengers. Of these, there were 8 trips to southern provinces, 4 trips to Hai Phong and 2 trips to Lao Cai.

On special trains on the occasion of National Day 2.9, instead of the familiar uniform, railway staff wear the colors of the national flag.

General Director of Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) Hoang Gia Khanh said that during this year's National Day holiday, ticket sales increased by about 10% compared to the same period last year.

Up to this point, the railway industry has sold 130,000 tickets. Due to the high density of passengers traveling during the peak holiday season, ensuring service quality, security and safety for passengers is a priority.

The railway industry has deployed a force of young volunteers to assist passengers with procedures, travel, and find trains.

VNR also diversified ticket sales methods for passengers to buy tickets conveniently and quickly. In addition to the regular trains on the routes, the railway has added dozens of trains. Trains departing at prime times on peak days such as August 30-31 and September 2-3 are almost sold out, with only a few tickets left for the 3rd floor sleeper train in the 6th compartment.

International guests were very excited about the special experience on the train during the Independence Day holiday and were excited about the Vietnamese national flag.

On August 30 alone, which is identified as the peak day, the railway will operate 10 trains on the North-South route, with 5 Thong Nhat passenger trains from Hanoi to Saigon, 1 train from Hanoi to Da Nang, 2 trains from Hanoi to Dong Hoi, and 2 trains from Hanoi to Vinh.

Short train routes to Nam Dinh, Thanh Hoa, Vinh and long routes to Dong Hoi, Dong Ha, Hue, Da Nang all have the same situation of "sold out tickets".

Mr. Hoang Gia Khanh, General Director of VNR, was also a passenger on train SE3 departing from Hanoi station on the evening of August 30 to return home for the holiday.

Young passengers and their families enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere at Hanoi train station on the evening of August 30.

The special thing about this year's September 2nd holiday is that the railway industry has deployed all staff on all trains to wear red flag shirts with yellow stars, to spread the beautiful image of the national flag and national pride.

Besides buying tickets directly at the counter, passengers can buy train tickets online quickly and conveniently.

On the occasion of National Day this year, the number of train passengers increased by about 10% compared to the same period last year.

Passengers do not need to go to the station as before, but only need to go to the railway ticket sales website or through electronic applications, smartphone apps such as e-banking, MoMo e-wallet, ZaloPay, VinID... to be able to book tickets, buy tickets, and pay online.
