About:China Rail Pass
Can I get onto the platform with just a confirmation and passport ID?
I asked the inquiry desk at Shanghai Hongqiao rail station today about the rail pass, but she said it is only available on 3 trains each day (to Hangzhou), and the rail pass is generally only useful around Beijing.
She also said that from today (20 Nov 2019) that I would be able to get through ticket barriers on to the platform with just a booking confirmation and passport ID, no printed ticket required. Is this true, and does it apply to all lines?
