On 3rd February 2011, China will embrace its lunar new year. The train services industry is preparing for the coming peak travel season of the traditional Chinese New Year. According to recent news reports, the Chinese New Year’s rush is expected to last for 40 days from 19th January till 27th February (China Daily, 2011). The following indicators and targets will help to depict the overall readiness and performance of China’s railway service during this period:

  • # Total volume of railway passengers: 230 million
  • % Increase of passengers: 12.5% compared to 2010
  • # New trains added: 293
