Three more bullet trains are to run on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway starting on Jan 17, including trains linking Beijing with Hohhot, capital city of North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, according to local media reports.

The bullet trains will be in service until Jan 23.

Train G2412 departs Hohhot at 11:09 and arrives at Beijing North Railway Station at 14:01. Train G2425 leaves Beijing North Railway Station at 14:35 and reaches Hohhot East Railway Station at 17:13.
