On the last working day before Tet holiday, at Hanoi Station, the trains were full but the station area was open, and the extra trains were not rushed.
According to Giao thong Newspaper reporters at Hanoi station, unlike the image of passengers flocking to the station crowded like every year, around the time of the 2025 Lunar New Year holiday, the Hanoi station area is very airy.
According to the investigation, today (November 24), in addition to regular trains, the railway only runs 2 more Thong Nhat trains to the southern provinces, and has not run any more trains to Vinh. The Hanoi - Hai Phong route still maintains 4 pairs of trains, the Hanoi - Lao Cai route has 2 pairs of trains. Trains to the south and Lao Cai are concentrated in departing in the evening.

Outside the station square, buses are bustling with passengers arriving at the station to take the train.
Passengers with luggage enter the station, starting the long Lunar New Year holiday.
To facilitate passengers and ensure order in the station area, the management unit has arranged a waiting area next to the waiting room to avoid congestion.
Due to the long distance between trains, the station opens many gates to welcome passengers early so that passengers arriving at the station do not have to wait long. The train waiting room on the second floor of Hanoi station is spacious, from here passengers will take the pedestrian overpass to the train.
Paintings are being displayed here in preparation for the exhibition that will open on February 3, 2025. Passengers can enjoy and take photos while waiting for the train.
This year's Tet holiday, the railway industry has organized ticket sales since October 1, 2024. According to the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, as of January 24, 2025, a total of over 434,000 tickets have been sold, including train tickets divided into many short routes. The number of tickets purchased online accounts for 57% of the number of tickets sold. In the photo: Passengers "carrying" luggage home for Tet at the station area.
"Up to now, all even-numbered train tickets from the South to the North have been sold out. There are only a few train tickets left from Saigon station to the North on January 28 and January 29, 2025 (ie December 29 and January 1)," said a representative of the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company.
The young passengers were eager to return home with their parents.
For more information, the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company said that after Tet, there are only a few tickets left for odd-numbered trains from Hanoi to the southern region during peak days. Tickets for the days from January 31 to February 3, 2025 are sold out. There are still many train tickets for the remaining days from the stations: Hanoi, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thanh Hoa... to the south.
Train LP5 departed at 3:15 p.m. this afternoon (January 24) with 12 passenger cars with nearly 800 passengers, all of which were full, but the train was airy. "This year, many passengers boarded the train at Long Bien and Gia Lam stations. On the other hand, the railway does not sell extra seats to ensure service quality, so there are no more passengers sitting on plastic chairs along the aisle or at the front of the train," a train service staff shared.
Railway staff clean the station and train to welcome passengers on Tet holiday.
At Long Bien station, there are many passengers boarding the train.
Previously, in order to improve the quality of passenger services, the railway invested in and put into operation canopies, platforms, and fences in an antique style, creating an impressive architectural landscape and creating a comfortable feeling for passengers during peak holidays and Tet.
