The 7-seat commercial vehicle from Jiuzhaigou to Zhenjiangguan is chartered and departs at 8:00, but the details say it departs at 8:40, mainly because it takes into account various factors that may exist in the actual operation, such as passenger gathering, vehicle preparation, and road conditions. etc., so allow extra time to ensure on-time or early departure.
To judge whether we can catch the 11:28 train if we leave at 8:40, we need to estimate the distance from Jiuzhaigou to Zhenjiang Pass and the usual time required for this journey. Generally speaking, the distance from Jiuzhaigou to Zhenjiang Pass is relatively long and takes about 10 to 12 hours by car. The specific time depends on road conditions and vehicle speed.
Taking a 10-hour drive as an example, if you leave at 8:40, you will arrive at your destination between 18:40 and 20:40. This means that in most cases you will not be able to arrive at Zhenjiang Pass before 11:28 and therefore not be able to catch that train.
However, if the road conditions are good and the driving speed is fast, it may be possible to arrive in about 10 hours or even less. In this case, it is still possible to catch the 11:28 train by departing at 8:40. However, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, it is recommended to consult the specific driving route and estimated arrival time in advance, or choose an earlier departure time.
