It described the figure as the station’s highest single-day total for arrivals and departures, about 20% above the same date in 2025.

It is useful as a measure of one station’s daily workload and entrance-and-exit flow, but it does not count unique tourists arriving in Changde, city residents, or everyone travelling across China for National Day. The source provides no person-level deduplication or breakdown by origin and destination. It also covers railway-station movements only; it should not be read as a total for bus terminals, the airport, private vehicles or the city’s entire transport network.","The report says the station experienced the first holiday passenger peak on that date. Crowds filled the waiting hall and queues formed at security and ticket-checking points. Changde Daily attributed the increase mainly to family visits, tourism and student travel occurring at the same time. This is the local report’s explanation of the demand mix, not a survey or a record that separates trips by purpose. The source therefore does not establish how much of the movement came from tourism or students returning to school.","The station said it used advance ticket sales and wait-list demand to anticipate busy routes and periods. Its response included requesting extra trains, coupling high-speed trainsets, adding carriages to conventional trains and adjusting ticket allocations dynamically. Hengyang, Changsha, Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen were among the directions highlighted. These were routes receiving particular attention in the station’s planning; the article does not give passenger totals for each destination or the exact number of additional trains and carriages.","The operational account went beyond adding capacity. A waiting area for military personnel and a mother-and-baby room remained open, with staff assigned to maintain the nursing room. Older people, children, passengers who were ill or disabled, and pregnant travellers could request wheelchairs, emergency medicine and assisted service. Gates, lifts, lighting and drinking-water facilities were checked in advance. These are reported service arrangements, not counts of how many passengers used them or an independently measured customer-satisfaction result.","To manage flows inside the station, waiting zones were reorganised, entry and exit routes reviewed, signs added and more staff assigned to identity checks, security screening and ticket inspection. Volunteers at lifts, ticket offices and gates helped direct passengers and answer questions.

The 61,879 total should therefore be treated as the recorded movement on a busy day, not as a measured outcome of the station’s crowd-management programme.","For safety, the station said it coordinated round-the-clock patrols with police and transport agencies and checked risk points in the north and south squares and underground areas. Timetables for buses and taxis were aligned with train arrivals, while parking guidance directed drivers toward the underground car park at the north square.

The roughly 20% comparison is rounded in the source, which does not detail the comparability of the two days.
