Passenger rail transport is one of the principal means of transport in Mainland China, with 1.456 billion railway trips taken in 2008.[1] The Spring Festival Travel Season is the peak railway travel season of the year.
China is currently redeveloping its entire railway network to produce a modern high-speed network.
Every train route has an identification number of two to four characters. The first character can be alphabetic or numeric, while the second to fourth characters are all numeric.
Trains are classified as up trains or down trains. Since Beijing is seen as the centre of the network, the train from Beijing is the down service, while the train towards Beijing is the up service. Trains that do not go to Beijing are designated up or down based on the railway they are traveling on. Railways that do not go to Beijing are up or down based on whether they are going in the direction that goes towards or away from Beijing. Train routes that change from up service to down service while traveling in a certain direction might use two different route numbers. For example a train from Qingdao to Xian begins as up service as it travels approaching Beijing and changes to down service when it reaches the point where its travel is away from Bejing all the while travelling westerly.
