JR Hokkaido Announces 2027 Operating Plans for the Red Star Train
JR East will resume operations of its limited express Wakashio and Shinjuku Wakashio services from August 23.
Services had been suspended after heavy rainfall from August 13 to 14 damaged track facilities between Honda and Oami stations on the Sotobo Line. Following the resumption, trains are expected to experience delays as they will operate at reduced speeds on some sections.
