According to VNR, two specially designed trains named “Reunification Trains”, bearing the mark of historical events, departing from Hanoi Station and Saigon Station, will meet in Da Nang. Specifically, on the evening of April 29, train SE1 will depart from Hanoi Station and train SE4 from Saigon Station. The two trains will meet at 12 noon on April 30, 2025 at Da Nang Station. These are two trains like a journey to look back at history, helping people understand and appreciate the value of peace today. The pair of trains are decorated with images recreating the period of struggle for national reunification, helping passengers learn about a historical period of the whole country and the railway industry.

From now until the end of the April 30 and May 1 holidays, when purchasing train tickets, passengers will have the opportunity to join the railway industry in creating a Thong Nhat train on the internet. Each successfully purchased ticket is a red flag with a yellow star displayed on the ticketing system, showing that each trip becomes a journey of solidarity and national pride. Previously, the railway industry organized early ticket sales and added more trains on key routes compared to normal days, in order to meet the increased travel demand of people, ensuring that passengers can easily buy tickets to have a complete holiday. In addition, during the April 30 and May 1 holidays, on the Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City route, in addition to the 5 pairs of Thong Nhat passenger trains running daily, there will be 2 more SE9 trains on April 29 and 30 from Hanoi station to Saigon station. For destinations in the Central region, there will be 4 more Saigon - Da Nang trains; 8 trains from Saigon to Quy Nhon, 6 trains from Saigon to Nha Trang, 2 trains from Saigon to Phan Thiet, 2 trains from Hanoi to Da Nang and 4 trains from Hanoi to Dong Hoi...
