A relevant official from China State Railway Group stated that the full timetable for the China-Europe Railway Express will be scientifically planned following a high-quality development approach to avoid resource waste and homogeneous competition, gradually expanding the scope of operations. Subsequently, the full timetable trains have undergone three expansions, starting from the two departure and return destinations of Xi'an and Chengdu, gradually achieving comprehensive point-to-point, route, and regional expansion.

Currently, the full timetable trains for the China-Europe Railway Express operate stably with over 22 trains per week and 88 to 100 trains per month.
