yes i think they have age restrictions for the newer fast trains, i read something once in an article. actually even some airlines (chinese and overseas) do have age limits.

Looks can be deceiving. THe person that you thought looked over 30 might have actually been younger. ANd the person you thought was under 30 may have been older. So I don't think so.

was not just a person , the whole staff looks older and this is an observation over 3 years, i teach in 3 cities and take 2 or 3 trains every week. not an isolated case.
