JR East to Operate Overnight Trains on 7 Lines in the Tokyo Area from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day
Yamagata Shinkansen to Resume Full Operations from August 10
East Japan Railway Company (JR East) announced that services on the Yamagata Shinkansen between Oishida and Shinjo stations will resume on August 10.
Additionally, operations on the Ou Main Line between Oishida and Shinjo stations will also resume. Currently, services in this section are suspended in both directions throughout the day, and replacement buses connecting to the Tsubasa services are in operation. After the resumption of service, some sections will operate at reduced speeds, resulting in delays.
JR East has continued to suspend services in parts of the Tohoku region due to heavy rain in July. While substitute buses between Shinjo and Furukuchi stations on the Rikuu West Line resumed operations on August 5, train services between Shinjo and In’nai stations on the Ou Main Line, between Naruko Onsen and Shinjo stations on the Rikuu East Line, and substitute buses between Furukuchi and Sakata stations on the Rikuu West Line will remain suspended for the time being.
