JR West to Operate Direct Trains from Shin-Osaka to Sakurajima Station for Expo Access Route
JR Central has announced that, due to the impact of heavy rain from Typhoon No. 10, the last train times for the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Mishima stations today, August 31, will be brought forward.
The last southbound train will be the Kodama 355 service departing Tokyo Station at 7:57 PM, and the last northbound train will be the Kodama 354 service departing Mishima Station at 7:24 PM, with subsequent trains being cancelled.
Throughout the day from around noon, the Kodama services had been operating at a frequency of approximately two trains per hour in each direction, all compartments unrestricted and for standard-class cars only. The Mishima to Nagoya station segment is planned to be suspended for the entire day.
Furthermore, due to the suspension of the “Shinano” express service and operations between Atami and Toyohashi stations on the Tokaido Main Line, passengers are advised to take care when transferring to conventional lines.
