Here are some train schedule information ,hope it can help your Tibet trip,
T27 Beijing---Xi'an(08:48)---Lhasa(20:00 next day).
T165 Shanghai---Xi'an(10:12)---Lhasa(21:00 next day. every other day)
T265 Guangzhou---Xi'an(10:12)---Lhasa(21:00 next day.every other day)
T223 Chongqing---Xi'an(06:45)---Lhasa(17:21 next day, every other day)
if you catch the train in Xi'an, it takes you around 35hours train ride can get to Lhasa. you also can catch the train to Lhasa in Beijing ,Guangzhou,Shanghai and Chongqing,but all train to Lhasa have to pass Xi'an train station,if like this,you have to need much time on the train,so you'd better catch train in Xi'an, I helped two tourist for booking train tickets to Lhasa last week,and they came back to Xi'an from Lhasa last night ,they told me that nobody asked them to show permit,so don't care permit please.they are from Thailand. I'm a local people in Xi'an,if you need any information about your trip in Tibet,mail to me: Dai20008@yahoo.com.cn let me help you

hi there,
I am also organising a trip to Tibet with 15 people. And I have done my research already.
I strongly recommend you the company that organises the trip for me - toursoftibet.com
They are very polite and I believe we will have a wonderful trip there. If you need more information, do not hesitate to let me know.

Hi,
I will be on the way to Tibet on 6th,March under the help of my friend in Chengdu and Lhasa.The one in Lhasa told me that the permit is checked very strickly when you will in Lhasa especailly when you check in the hotel and going some district far from Lhasa. Anyway, If you plan to set out from Chengdu or hire a 4WD, I may give you some info about it. Because I had do a lot of search about it and get the final decision.

Greetings!

Calvin
