Suspended bullet service sends some to planes, buses

SHANGHAI - The fatal train accident that occurred on Saturday night in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, has left many passengers uneasy about using high-speed rail services, especially during bad weather.

Thirty-five passengers were killed and 192 injured in the accident, which caused the suspension of 58 bullet trains to Wenzhou, Fuzhou and Xiamen on Sunday.

"We received instructions from the Ministry of Railways this morning on halting ticket sales for 'D' category trains heading to Shanghai and Beijing until tomorrow and we have stopped selling tickets for Fuzhou and Xiamen until the end of Sunday," said a senior officer at the Wenzhou railway station, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
