JR East to Operate Overnight Trains on 7 Lines in the Tokyo Area from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day
Suspension of Service on the Entire Tokaido Shinkansen Line Due to Typhoon No. 10
JR Central has suspended operations on the entire Tokaido Shinkansen line due to heavy rains caused by Typhoon No. 10.
Today, on August 30th, a planned suspension of service is implemented between Mishima and Nagoya stations. There is no prospect of resuming operations in other sections, including those affected by heavy rains in Shizuoka.
Initially, between Tokyo-Mishima and Nagoya-Shin Osaka stations, there was a plan to operate temporary “Kodama” services, stopping at each station, with about two trains per hour in each direction with all cars non-reserved. Direct operations with the Sanyo Shinkansen are canceled throughout the day.
From August 31st to September 2nd, there is a possibility that service suspensions for the entire line or certain sections, including planned service suspensions or prolonged suspensions of operations, may be implemented.
