JR Hokkaido will resume service between Shizukari and Kogoro stations on the Muroran Line, which was damaged by heavy rain on August 27, starting with the first trains on September 10.
The damage included washed-out track beds, mud inflows at multiple locations, and flooded tracks.
While substitute bus services are operating between Toya and Oshamambe stations on the Muroran Line, an additional round trip of the limited express Niseko will operate between Sapporo and Hakodate via the Hakodate Line on September 8 and 9. The service will use a 261 Series 5000 “Lavender” trainset, with all cars operating as reserved seating only.
