Are carriages 8 and 9 of the high-speed train not connected?

"Anyone who has taken the high-speed rail knows that

Carriages 8 and 9 are not connected at all!"

When taking the train during the National Day holiday

Conversation between the two passengers in front

It caught my attention

Search online

More than one person thinks so!

It seems necessary to do some popular science

↓↓↓

Which high-speed trains have carriages 8 and 9 that are not accessible?

Answer: Multiple EMU train

Railway departments to increase capacity

Two 8-car train sets will be coupled together for operation

Therefore, although the train set has 16 carriages

But cars 8 and 9 are not connected

However, when the train you are riding is a 16-carriage

Even for long trains with 17 carriages

All carriages are connected

So, if you encounter a double-train

Even if you are number 8 and I am number 9

It's also so close yet so far away that we can't see each other

If you encounter a long-formation EMU

Even though you are number 1 and I am number 17

The middle is also unobstructed

How to avoid the embarrassment of being on the same train but unable to see each other?
