JR East to Operate Overnight Trains on 7 Lines in the Tokyo Area from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day
Extra ‘Nozomi’ Shinkansen Trains Added to Early Morning and Late Night Schedules
JR Central will add extra ‘Nozomi’ services to the Tokaido Shinkansen schedule during early mornings and late nights.
One train will depart from Tokyo Station, and two from Shin-Osaka Station, on days when heavy usage is anticipated. The additional services include the 6:18 AM ‘Nozomi 285’ departing from Tokyo station, and the 9:09 PM ‘Nozomi 484’ and the 9:30 PM ‘Nozomi 488’ departing from Shin-Osaka Station. The Tokyo-bound train will be operated six minutes after the current last ‘Nozomi’ service.
Furthermore, on the first day of consecutive holidays or during peak travel periods, ‘Nozomi 97,’ which starts from Shin-Yokohama Station, will be arranged to go to Hakata Station. On days when it operates as a Shin-Osaka-bound service, it will be designated as ‘Nozomi 497.’
