Duncan Peattie's Chinese Railway Timetable
Information about my Timetable
The eleventh edition of my timetable is available. I also publish a Heritage Timetable based on the train service in 1956.
Eleventh Edition
The eleventh edition of my Chinese Railway Timetable has 495 pages and gives details for all trains for which timetable information has been found. The timetable contains many useful features, including an index map, an index (in Pinyin and Chinese characters) to the 1,992 stations shown (much increased from previously), information about travelling by train in China and copyable, bilingual booking forms (including one specifically for high speed trains) to assist with the purchase of train tickets.

If the link above does not work for you please contact me, letting me know the country from which you could not download, and I will send the file as an email attachment.
To see if the timetable is suitable for you, you may like to look at (albeit somewhat dated!) purchasers' opinions of previous editions of the timetable.
If you download the eleventh edition I invite you to let me know by email. This gives me useful feedback about timetable users - how many there are, where they are, how they heard of me and what they use the timetable for. Page 43 of the eleventh edition gives more details of the information which is useful to me.
Please simply send me an email letting me know as much or as little as you wish about yourself and your use of the timetable.
