It is understood that tickets where the ticketing station and the ticket collection station are not in the same city are called off-site tickets, and the handling fee for off-site tickets is generally for each 5 yuan. For example, buy a train ticket from Shanghai to Qingdao at Beijing West Railway Station. Previously, tickets purchased in official website 12306, as well as tickets purchased and picked up at self-service ticket vending machines, were not charged for off-site handling fees in 5 yuan. However, tickets purchased at the station manual ticketing window and sales outlets are subject to the off-site handling fee for each 5 yuan ticket.
During the National Day Golden Week this year, passengers travelling to Beijing West Railway Station by train can stop at the newly opened southeast entrance. Together with the original south entrance, north entrance and north entrance on the second floor, the number of entrances to Beijing West Railway Station has increased to four. There are two entrances in the north of the West Railway Station, upstairs and downstairs, while there is only one entrance in the south, so access is limited. Before the National Day, the station cooperated with local merchants to add another entrance channel to the east of the original south entrance, so as to relieve the pressure of entering the South Square and reduce the waiting time of passengers.
Beijing West Railway Station has added a second verification link to prevent scalpers from scalping tickets. In the daily operation, the station staff found that some scalpers only use the railway to check their identity documents at the station entrance, and only check their tickets when they get on the bus, so that after purchasing scalper tickets, passengers only need to buy a short-distance ticket from the real-name registration system registration system to get on the bus.
I hope that during the National Day, passengers will have a pleasant journey. Happy National Day.
