I would think all the Chinese people who make extra money ... there is little or no market for scalpers on high speed rail. ...... it will charge only a 5-percent refund fee starting Sept 25,In....

It is interesting that so many Chinese used to buy unneeded tickets and cancel them, considering that it DID cost 5 % already - no free cancellation.
Pity that no one noticed to post it till now, considering the regulations took effect yesterday.

Does it also mean that large numbers of tickets shall now come to market slightly over 48 hours before departure? It is still just 5 % to cancel over 48 hours before departure. Therefore the people who are willing to waste 5 % price on cancellation would now cancel slightly over 48 hours ahead of departure, presumably at a convenient time for themselves. It would therefore be a question of noticing the cancelled tickets at the correct time and buying them before anyone else does.
Was posted awhile back.
