The pre-sale time of train tickets in Beijing has returned to five days on Saturday, the local Beijing Times reports.

This is the third time in a month that the pre-sale period for train tickets in the capital has been adjusted.

Experts say changes were affected by the opening of the new Beijing South Railway Station and the Olympics.

The Railway Ministry shortened the pre-sale period to five days from the previous ten days starting on July 20th, and cut a further two days starting on July 26.
