Being stuck for hours at a train station is unpleasant but even more so if you're trapped with tens of thousands of other passengers.
Vast crowds of people trying to head home for Lunar New Year celebrations were stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station, in southern China, after snow and poor weather delayed dozens of trains.
Guangzhou Railway Corp said 33,000 people were still stuck Wednesday morning, down from more than 50,000 Tuesday. Numbers were reported to be as high as 100,000 earlier in the week.
It added that eight additional high-speed trains would be deployed and delayed trains wouldn't be sent to depots for inspection, with any maintenance taking place directly on the platforms.
