What does the y in front of the train mean?

The prefix y stands for tourist train.

Tourist Trains Passenger trains running between places of interest, tourist resorts and large and medium-sized cities, temporary tourist trains are faster, with fewer stops and more advanced car bodies. Trains running for tourism demand are divided into through-train and in-pipe train.

Different from ordinary passenger trains, passengers on tourist trains ride all the way, and no passengers get on or off at the stop halfway. After the train arrives at its destination, passengers get off and play, and the train waits in the local area. During the waiting period, the train has no power supply, and a train only runs once per shift.

According to the needs of passengers, the train bottom is divided into two grades:

One is an all-train air-conditioned train, where all passengers eat on the train, that is, the whole train meals are included;

The other is to use the bus (green leather car) running in the office, which usually does not contain meals, and passengers can choose whether to eat in the dining car.
