JR East has announced that, due to the effects of Typhoon No. 25, including inflows of earth and debris, flooded tracks, and fallen trees, restoration is expected to take a considerable amount of time on some routes.
Sections where services will remain suspended from today, the 24th, onward are the Narita Line between Araki and Kioroshi stations and between Sawara and Choshi stations; the Uchibo Line between Anegasaki and Awa-Kamogawa stations; the Kururi Line between Kisarazu and Kazusa-Kameyama stations; and the Sobu Main Line between Enokido and Naruto stations.
Services are expected to resume on September 26 on the Narita Line between Araki and Kioroshi stations and on the Uchibo Line between Kisarazu and Awa-Kamogawa stations. Restoration is expected to take around one week on the Kururi Line between Kisarazu and Kururi stations; around two weeks on the Narita Line between Sawara and Choshi stations; around one month on the Sobu Main Line between Enokido and Naruto stations; and at least three months on the Uchibo Line between Anegasaki and Kisarazu stations. No timetable has been set for the resumption of services on the Kururi Line between Kururi and Kazusa-Kameyama stations.
Among the lines that will continue operating, train services will be significantly reduced on the Uchibo Line between Chiba and Anegasaki stations; the Sobu Main Line between Chiba and Enokido stations; and the Narita Line between Narita and Kioroshi stations, between Narita and Sawara stations, and between Araki and Abiko stations.
All limited express services will be suspended, except for Sazanami services on the Uchibo Line and Shiosai Nos. 4, 6, and 11 on the Sobu Main Line. Narita Express services are scheduled to operate as normal. (Image: JR East official service information account on X)
