Taiwan's transport ministry outlined National Day rail measures on October 8, including eight fully non-reserved high-speed trains from Nangang or Taipei to Taichung that evening. A separate 22:20 departure from Nangang to Zuoying was scheduled to arrive at 00:15 the next day, encouraging off-peak travel.

The holiday plan totals 917 high-speed services, including ninety-two additional trains, while conventional rail adds 126 services. Changes also affect reserved seating and limited standing tickets on western EMU3000 trains. These are dated October 8 arrangements, not departures still available tonight after delayed publication. Passengers should use operators' current schedules and ticket conditions for subsequent travel.
