Expansion of Reservation Methods for ‘S Work’ Cars on the Tokaido & Sanyo Shinkansen
JR East and JR West will expand the reservation methods for the ‘S Work’ cars on the Tokaido & Sanyo Shinkansen.
Now, it’s possible to purchase ‘S Work’ car tickets through JR West’s online reservation service ‘e5489’, at station counters, and at designated seat ticket vending machines. The price is the same as for ordinary car reserved seats. The ‘S WorkP Seat’, which is a central seat for three with partitions installed, requires an additional fee of 1,200 yen on top of the ordinary car reserved seat fare.
This will apply to journeys from May 22, and the tickets will go on sale from 10 am one month prior to the departure date. The operation method for reserving ‘S Work’ cars via the ‘EX Service’ will change.
The ‘S Work’ car allows passengers to use mobile devices without hesitation. It is designated in car number 7 of the 16-car configuration of the Tokaido & Sanyo Shinkansen.
