Fukuoka Subway Introduces New ‘4000 Series’ Train Design, Set to Operate in Fall 2024
Hisatsu Orange Railway to Reduce Services from February 1 Due to Difficulty in Securing Train Drivers
Hisatsu Orange Railway will suspend some of its trains starting February 1.
The reason given is the chronic shortage of staff, compounded by the resignation of train drivers, making it difficult to secure enough drivers.
The suspended trains will mostly be in the early morning hours, with 2 trains going up and 3 trains down on weekdays, and 1 train each way on weekends and holidays. This reduction will bring the total number of daily trains to 48 on both weekdays and weekends/holidays (currently 53 on weekdays and 50 on weekends/holidays).
