China's rail traffic was back on track but a large passenger backlog and more severe winter weather will prevent many people from going home for the annual holidays, state media said on Friday.
The country's transport system had been effectively paralysed since last weekend due to the worst winter storms in half a century, but airports, train stations and bus depots began rumbling back to life on Thursday.
"Nationwide, 95 percent or more of the rail system has returned to normal and traffic is being expedited," Railway Ministry spokesman Wang Yongping was quoted as saying by the Beijing Times .
However, millions of migrant workers still trying to get back for traditional Lunar New Year family gatherings faced either more waiting or the prospect of a holiday away from home.
