With the speedy development of the rail network and rail infrastructure in mainland China, the traditional China Train Tickets booking system has seriously lagged behind in matching the present passenger service. Under the present China train ticket booking scenario, every passenger is required to book train tickets in person from the ticket office at each train station or pay scalping ticket agencies high commissions for getting tickets.

Then how to book Beijing Tianjin Train tickets online, what's the booking procedure? Now I have summed up below the way of how to book the train ticket online after watching and reading the breaking news.

Train tickets For Chinese citizens, if you have the second generation ID cards, then you can use your ID cards as your tickets. So you go through the automatic ticket checking machines and or ticket checking on board by presenting your ID cards.
You don't need a paper ticket. If you want a paper ticket as an invoice for reimbursement, you can change for paper tickets at the ticketing office at each train station. If you have an old version of
China ID cards, you need to change for a paper ticket at the ticketing office before your train departs.
After the operation of Beijing Tianjin Train ticket online booking, Beijing Shanghai high speed train tickets will be sold online later this June. In addition, later this year, online train ticket booking will gradually cover all train network in China.
A complete China Train Tickets online booking is still a dream, but the long and beautiful dream has become more tangible.
