JR Hakodate Line Resumes Operations Between Mori and Oshamambe Stations from the First Train on November 19
JR Hokkaido will resume operations on the Hakodate Line between Mori and Oshamambe Stations from the first train on November 19.
The service suspension was due to a JR Freight train derailment between Mori and Ishikura Stations on the 16th. The works have been progressing smoothly, and with the completion of the work and confirmation of safety, the operations are expected to resume.
Until the 18th, a replacement bus service will operate between Hakodate and Oshamambe Stations. The limited express “Hokuto” connecting Hakodate and Sapporo Stations will operate only partially, with some sections between Hakodate and Toyako & Oshamambe Stations suspended. A replacement bus service will connect at Oshamambe Station.
