train to Tibet originating from Lanzhou cancelled til when ?
Hi,
I had planned a trip on the China to Tibet railway this year 2020 originating from lanzhou .
i know trains so start from Xining but this seems not a very pleasant place to spend a few days acclimatizing .
Now that i am looking at the trip for 2021 , I have been told that there is no longer a train that starts from Lanzhou.
I have tried to get back to the travel agent in Xining but no luck.
Can any readers confirm that the Tibet train still does not originate from there and would they have any idea when that service would restart.

Thank you for your quick responses,
My preference is to take a train that originates from Lanzhou not one that stops there on the way from somewhere else.
Reports to me are that trains starting elsewhere are already dirty especially the toilets and often the cabin .
So that's why I'm on the lookout for the one train that has, in the past, starts at LHW.
