   Answer:
   It's a pity to tell you we can't help you to reserve ticket requested as we don't deliver ticket to train station because it's hard to identify you through the big traffic flow.
   There are lots trains running from Beijing to Shijiazhuang as you can here. You have possibility to successfully purchase a ticket on the journey date. We would suggest you try to purchase ticket on D4569 as it runs between Beijing to Shijiazhuang only while T201/T204 runs between Beijing and Sanya of Hainan (wow, a long distance) and there would be many many people who would use this train.
