Facade of Vientiane railway station

... that Vientiane railway station in Laos is the largest on the Boten–Vientiane railway and can accommodate 2,500 passengers, but currently only serves three trains per day? Source: Largest in Laos: The Vientiane Station, the largest and most important station of the China-Laos railway ... the station can accommodate a maximum 2,500 passengers http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/asiapacific/2021-10/07/c_1310230219.htm
Three trains per day: Three trains a day are running within Laos as shown above. No passengers are currently crossing the border to/from China because of Covid-19. https://laostravel.com/express-train-for-laos-china-railway/ (not a great source, but the best we have, since AFAICT the Lao-China railway has no official website)
