Breaking News Railways All Tokaido Shinkansen services between Tokyo and Nagoya will be suspended for the entire day on the 16th， and the number of trains between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka will be significantly reduced．
On the afternoon of the 14th, JR Central decided to cancel all Tokaido Shinkansen services between Tokyo and Nagoya from the first train to the end of the day on Friday the 16th, due to the approach of Typhoon No. 7 and the expected heavy rain and strong winds along the line. In addition, the number of trains running between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka will be significantly reduced, and all ordinary cars will be unreserved seats. In addition, on the 17th, depending on the situation such as equipment inspections after the typhoon passes, there is a possibility that there will be significant delays from the first train, some trains will be canceled, and services will be suddenly suspended. JR Central stated, “Please pay attention to future weather information and train operation status, and consider changing your travel plans.” In addition, if a trip departing by the 17th is canceled due to the effects of Typhoon No. 7, refunds will be provided without charge.

Hopefully there won’t be any impact on the 17th once the typhoon has passed. If there are any problems with the overhead lines or tracks, the first train on the 17th may not run.
Rather than stopping at the last minute, people now have more time to respond, so even if there is a typhoon and it doesn’t have a big impact, they start stopping in advance.
>>24 If you create a situation where employees in their 20s are yelled at, they will quit. If that happens, the service will stop operating even on clear days.
Trains stop so easily these days. I guess it’s because we blame the railway companies too much when a problem occurs. Japan has become inconvenient in many ways, not just in terms of railways.
>>32 The Hokuriku Shinkansen is impossible. JR West wants to extend it via Kyoto (Katsura River?), but the hurdles are too high. It would be quicker if Tokai built the Hokuriku Chukyo Shinkansen to Maibara.
Last year, there was a typhoon during the Bon Festival that caused a Shinkansen train to be delayed near Shin-Osaka Station, so things are moving quickly this year. It’s no wonder the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has bowed down to them.
