Railways to add 51 trains during September 2 holiday

On August 21, the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company announced that it will add 51 trains and adjust the schedule to serve the National Day holiday on September 2.

Hanoi Railway Station has launched a biometric application for train check-in procedures, creating convenience for passengers during the peak season of September 2.

The additional trains are focused on routes with high travel demand. Specifically, the Hanoi - Da Nang route will have two additional trips, including train SE17 (August 29) and train SE18 (September 1).

Hanoi - Vinh route has 5 additional trips, including: train NA3 (August 29, 30), train NA4 (August 31, September 1), and train NA8 (September 2).

Hanoi - Thanh Hoa route will increase 8 trips with TH1/TH2 trains running on August 30, 31 and September 1, 2.

Hanoi - Dong Hoi route has 2 additional trips: train QB1 (August 29) and train QB2 (September 1).

Hanoi - Hai Phong route is expected to run 4 more trains.

The Saigon - Quy Nhon route has 12 additional trips, including: train SE30 (from August 28 to September 1), train SE29 (from August 29 to September 2), train SQN2 (August 29) and train SQN1 (September 2).

The Saigon - Nha Trang route will have 9 additional trips, including: train SNT4 (August 29 and 30), trains SNT6, SNT8, SNT10 (August 29), and trains SNT3 and SNT5 (September 1 and 2).

The Saigon - Phan Thiet route has 6 additional trips, including: train SPT4 (August 30, 31, September 2) and train SPT3 (August 30 and September 1, 2).

Routes Hanoi - Lao Cai (SP3/4, SP7/8), Hue - Da Nang (HD1/2, HD3/4), Saigon - Da Nang (SE21/22) still operate regularly to serve passengers.

At the same time, the Railway sector also set up two separate trains to transport about 1,200 soldiers from Hanoi to Tam Ky and Saigon on September 3 after completing their mission at the parade.

To serve the activities of the 80th National Day Celebration on September 2, Hanoi will close many routes from now until September 2. Therefore, the railway industry will adjust the departure and arrival stations of some trains. Trains on the Hanoi - Hai Phong route will depart and arrive at Long Bien station; the Hanoi - Lao Cai route will depart and arrive at Gia Lam station; the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route and the southern routes will pick up and drop off passengers at Giap Bat station.

During the time Hanoi City closes the roads to serve the activities of the 80th National Day, travel may be difficult. The Railway Industry recommends that passengers be present at the station at least 60 minutes before the train departs to ensure they do not miss their train.

Hanoi Railway Station will open an additional gate at Gate 1 Tran Quy Cap to facilitate travel. Passengers should proactively plan their travel to avoid areas with traffic restrictions; regularly monitor information about routes and road closure times.
