Ann: New Billing Partnership Secured in China, page-26

Yep all good.
I suppose there will be Christmas traffic - but the next big (mass movement) Chinese holidays will be the week of the Spring Festival from Feb 9 - Feb 13. Some businesses let their employees go a day or two earlier - and then they wind up beginning work on say the Sunday prior to holiday end - in an effort to beat the crush. It will be interesting to see the uptake for regular rail traffic in the meantime.
We musn't assume big things immediately as there will be a slow build into this ticket purchase mode but for convenience - nothing will beat it. Great to know the CIT travel thing is still on the backburner too.
