Trains NA1/2 connecting Hanoi-Vinh City will be reopened from October 18.
The resumption for trains LP5/6 on the Hanoi-Haiphong route will start on October 8 and the time for trains LP3/8 also on this route will begin from October 18.
Trains SE21/SE22 on the Danang-Saigon route are expected to be reopened from October 15. Meanwhile, the resumption of trains SNTT/2 on Nha Trang-Saigon and SPT1/2 on Phan Thiet-Saigon will be from November 1.
From December 1, trains on other routes are planned for being reopened based on the pandemic situation and the real travel demand of people.
