According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, a train arrived at Changde Station in Hunan Province on the morning of the 4th, but no one was able to board.
Passengers who got off the train were also unable to leave the station.
Travelers and passengers who had to go to work knocked on the door and shouted, but the door did not open.
This is because the station staff who had to open the station door overslept at the employee's accommodation, so they couldn't come on time.
As many passengers were unable to enter the station, the scene quickly became chaotic, and passengers were dissatisfied.
Some passengers called where they reported the inconvenience and asked them to resolve the problem quickly.
After a long time, another employee arrived at the scene and opened the door, but many passengers had already missed the train.
The railroad authorities immediately imposed sanctions on related employees, including a one-month suspension and cancellation of bonuses.
Netizens said "If there was an emergency such as a fire, a major disaster could occur" he blames.
On the other hand, some point out that fundamental problems should be solved.
They say that treatment, such as improving high intensity of work and guaranteeing the right to rest, should be increased and the door opening and closing system should be replaced with a card type, not a key.
