JR East to Operate Overnight Trains on 7 Lines in the Tokyo Area from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day
Tokaido Shinkansen Operation Plan Update: Possible Suspensions from August 30 to September 1
JR Central has once again updated the Tokaido Shinkansen’s operation plan due to the approach of Typhoon No. 10.
Due to the approach and passing of the typhoon, heavy rain and strong winds are expected along the line. As a result, there’s a possibility that between August 30 and September 1, the entire line or sections of it might experience planned suspensions or extended periods of suspension.
Furthermore, although no planned suspensions are scheduled for August 29 and September 2, sudden weather changes could lead to some trains being suspended or subjected to extended periods of suspension.
The days preceding and following the planned suspension period, August 29 and September 2, are expected to see a large number of passengers. JR Central is calling for passengers to make seat reservations in advance and to come to the station or move accordingly.
JR Central is asking passengers to pay close attention to future weather forecasts and the operational status of trains, and to consider making changes to their plans. Tickets valid from August 27 to September 1 can be changed or refunded without a fee.
