China plans to solve the spring festival travel strain in three years, CCTV reported. New express train linking Beijing and Tianjin offers fast and easy ticket-buying service. A railway station spokesman says passenger numbers only rise slightly. "59 trains depart from Beijing to Tianjin every day. Passengers can buy tickets easily. They can only arrive 30 or 40 minutes earlier to buy a ticket for the next train, "official said. The railway says that this year five new direct express trains will begin operation.
