China – Heavy snow strands ‘nearly 100,000′ at rail station

2 Feb 2016 – The crowd outside Guangzhou station in southern China swelled to nearly 100,000 at its peak on Monday night, police said.

Many trains from north and central China were delayed by the rare snow – leaving passengers stranded with no transport.

More than 50,000 people still remained stuck outside the station on Tuesday, state media said.

In addition to the snow, central China has experienced some of its coldest weather in years.
