‘Alemaya is small enough to walk across, so almost anywhere downtown works. We still do not sell the room.

Common questions about China Railway Group

What does China Railway Group run?

China Railway Group runs 436 of the Trains routes we sell, calling at 16 places across 2 countries. Those routes come from the published operator catalog rather than from a list we wrote, so a route only appears here if the carrier actually serves it.

How much do China Railway Group tickets cost?

The cheapest China Railway Group fare we sell is €13.54 for one passenger, across 436 routes. The median route runs 321 km in a straight line. Fares include taxes, supplier fees and our service fee, so the figure here is the figure at checkout.

Are China Railway Group tickets refundable?

China Railway Group fares are refundable up to two hours before departure and can be changed at no charge, across all 436 routes we sell. The condition is shown again on the offer and once more before you pay, because it is the thing travelers most often get wrong.

What is on board an China Railway Group service?

China Railway Group publishes Power outlets, Wi-Fi across its fleet, on the 436 routes we sell. A median journey with this carrier runs about 2h 18m, which is long enough for the difference between a carrier with power outlets and one without to matter.

What is the longest route China Railway Group runs?

The longest China Railway Group route we sell runs from Djibouti to Sebeta, 578 km in a straight line. A median journey with this carrier takes about 2h 18m at their typical cruising speed, so the long routes are considerably more than that.

Where does China Railway Group operate?

China Railway Group is based in Djibouti and runs routes we sell in 2 countries. The places it calls at most often are Ārabī, Debre Birhan, Jijiga. Those are computed from the routes in the catalog rather than from anything the carrier tells us about its own network.

Where these numbers come from

Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
