only tickets from starting station could be booked?

Question

I found that train ticket is selectable only if my departure station is the same with first station of the train. I want to travel from Beijing to Datong and I cannot select, for example, K278/K276/K273, which goes from Manzhouli, but I can select any train that goes from Beijing, but with very inconvenient time-tables... And the same with other directions...  Is it possible to buy ticket on K278/K276/K273 from Beijing to Datong, or absolutely not?

Mr.Rado · Answer

It seems that only train tickets departing from trains' starting station could be booked online. Anyway, for the tickets on K278/K276/K273 from Beijing to Datong, you could buy them directly at the train station.
