Today purchased a couple of D tickets from TZ to WZ. When we arrived at the station, found out all the trains are late by 80-120 minutes.

Therefore our 21:30 ride will be arriving very late. Then the station master said "Anybody that has a ticket, just get on, find a seat." "In fact the whole front end of the train is totally empty"

So we actually got on the 19:50 ride which was over a hour late.

We thought ok, that is great however the train kept stopping. We are talking sudden jerky stops. It was very disconcerting. The last let of my trip from YongJia station to WZ was crawling.

This is getting stupid.
