Previously, at the request of Quang Tri province, the railway industry established a pair of passenger trains DH1/DH2 to serve civil servants going to work, running daily from July 1 on the North-South national railway from Monday to Friday every week. Train DH2 departs from Dong Ha station at 5:30 am, arriving at Dong Hoi station at 7:25 am; train DH1 departs from Dong Hoi station at 5:45 pm, arriving at Dong Ha station at 7:45 pm. The ticket price for each trip is 105,000 VND, round-trip passengers receive a 25% discount on return tickets. The train consists of 7 air-conditioned soft seat cars, a restaurant car and a generator car. The train has food service to serve passengers.

The distance from Dong Ha station to Dong Hoi station is more than 100 km. The opening of the train line is to meet the travel needs of about 1,300 civil servants and public employees in the context of the merger of Quang Tri and Quang Binh provinces. The new province is named Quang Tri, with the administrative center located in Dong Hoi city.
However, according to a representative of the Railway Transport Joint Stock Company, on June 30, the unit received a notice from the Quang Tri Department of Construction stating that only 5 officials, civil servants, and public employees from 10 agencies under the province registered to take the train every day, 41 people wanted to take the train during the week. The ticket sales department at Dong Ha station said that on June 30, only 1 train ticket was sold to Dong Hoi on July 1.
Dong Ha station representative said that the train schedule may not be suitable, or because today is the first day of the two provinces merging, officials, civil servants, and people have not yet arranged their travel schedules.
"We will suspend the train until further notice," said a representative of Dong Ha station.
