2015年春运周三开始启动

 　　This year's Spring Festival travel rush is due to start on Wednesday, with an estimated 2.8 billion trips to be made over the 40-day period.

　　295-million trips are expected to be made by rail, an increase of 10 percent compared with last year.

　　It is reported that around one-thousand temporary passenger trains have been added to the system nationwide preparing for the coming travel rush.

　　Yang Yeming is a senior engineer from Shenyang Railway Bureau.

　　"This year we have dispatched 11 groups of passenger trains to southern parts of the country. In previous years, most of the trains we dispatched were old-fashioned ones, but this year we also dispatched trains with air-conditioning. This will offer a better and more comfortable environment for the migrant workers who return home."

　　Safety and security efforts across the country have also been enhanced to help ensure that everyone has a safe trip.
