Hi, I want to know can we collect the paper tickets in Tianjin in advance.
Or it need to be Beijing West? We will reach the International Port in Tianjin and start our visiting there. I would be more convenient if we can collect the tickets together in Binhai Station. If this possible?

No problem! You can collect the ticket at Binhai station (if you are talking about G79). You do not need to do it at the departure station or even departure city. Any station would do.

If you refer to the high speed G rides, first class seats is more comfortable and with larger space for leg room. There are 4 seats in each row. While second class has 5 seats in each row and the space is a little bit smaller.

If you refer to the sleeper Z rides, soft sleeper cabin is shared by 4 pax and hard sleeper is for 6 pax.

Hello, I want to know if I can collect the paper at station instead of delivery?

Thank you for your inquiry.

We are sorry that the tickets for this overnight sleeper train cannot be collected at station ticket counter. We have to arrange the delivery to you. If you do not have any hotel address in HK, we may deliver the express to our local agent office in Hung Hom Station instead. You can then show our confirmation letter to collect the express at the office more than 1.5 hours before departure time.
