Some netizens reported that train G1265 was missing one carriage, leaving nearly 100 passengers without seats.In response, the official Weibo of @railqingdaostation responded: Recently, it was reported online that some passengers were without seats on train G1265 due to vehicle changes. It has been verified that the G1268/5 train from Qingdao North to Yanji West suffered a temporary breakdown on February 1, 2024.In order to ensure the safety of passengers, the railway department urgently activated spare vehicles. Due to the change in vehicle model, the original train capacity was 1,102 people, and the changed capacity was 1,005 people, reducing the number of seats by 97, leaving some passengers without seats.
In response to the above situation, the train crew did their best to replace seats and comfort them. They gave priority to guiding key passengers such as the elderly, the young, the sick, pregnant women, etc. to the dining car. They mobilized double seats to be seated as three people, tried their best to arrange passengers, and did a good job in explaining and striving for understanding. The train arrived at the terminal smoothly that night.
The railway department deeply apologizes for the inconvenience caused to passengers.
