It is another year in Spring Festival travel rush. Under the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, it is necessary to satisfy the wishes of hundreds of millions of people to go home and ensure the safety of their way home, so that Spring Festival travel rush in 2022 has special significance.
Under the epidemic, peace and health are the background of going home. One by one "Spring Festival people" are taking actions to protect the peace of their way home.
The car should be safe. Trains that have been running for a day must enter the maintenance yard for maintenance according to regulations. The workload of vehicle maintenance is huge, and every screw should be checked clearly to ensure the good operation of the train. On average, each train needs to detect about 17,000 parts, and it takes about 2.5 hours for four people to work at the same time. During the period of Spring Festival travel rush, Guangzhou EMU will overhaul 108 sets of EMUs every day. Because most trains have to be stopped at night before they are put into storage for maintenance, the train mechanics who can only move at night and become "night owls" guard safety in the dark.

Guangzhou Station, which witnessed the history of Spring Festival travel rush, Guangdong Province, is expected to send 2.2 million passengers this year. tianhao, secretary of the General Party Branch of Guangzhou Station Passenger Transport Workshop, said that in order to do a good job in epidemic prevention, the station strictly implements the "three 100%" of entering and leaving the station, that is, 100% temperature detection, 100% health code bright code access and 100% wearing masks.
