Typhoon No. 14 Remains affected by JR There are many passengers due to thinning operation, and some people can not get on the train in front of them[09/21 20:22]
The impact of Typhoon No. 14 remains on JR. In addition to the suspension of operations on several routes on the 21st, some passengers have said that they could not get on the train with too many passengers due to thinning operation.
According to JR Kyushu, five sections were suspended all day on the 21st, and even in sections where operation was resumed, thinning operations were performed to reduce the number of trains than usual. For this reason, some passengers at Kagoshima Chuo Station said that they were unable to board the train they were trying to board because there were too many passengers.
(high school student)
“I couldn’t get on the train I usually take, so I thought I’d take the next one, but there were too many people and I couldn’t get on, so I came at a shorter time.”
(Q. Will it be in time for school?) “No, I won’t be in time.”
(company employee)
“I had the impression that there were a lot of people, partly because the number of trains was decreasing.”
According to JR Kyushu, regular schedules cannot be set on routes with sections where operation is suspended, so there is no choice but to reduce the number of flights due to vehicle operation.
Regarding the fact that some passengers could not make it, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we are calling for you to use it with plenty of time.
Due to the influence of Typhoon No. 14, JR’s conventional lines are expected to continue to be affected by suspension of operation in some areas after tomorrow 22nd, and some sections will be delayed until next month.
According to JR Kyushu, it is as follows.
If safety is confirmed, it is expected that the number of trains will be reduced from the first train on the 22nd and operation will resume.
