Typhoon No. 14 Remains affected by JR There are many passengers due to a thinning operation and some people cannot 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 multiple routes on the 21st, some passengers said they could not board the train with too many passengers due to the thinning operation.
According to JR Kyushu, five sections were suspended throughout the day on the 21st, and even in the sections where activity was resumed, thinning operations were carried out to reduce the number of trains compared to usual. For this reason, some passengers at Kagoshima Chuo station said they were unable to get on the train they were trying to get on due to too many passengers.
(high school student)
“I couldn’t get on the train I usually take, so I thought about taking the next one, but there were too many people, so I got there in 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, also because the number of trains was decreasing”.
According to JR Kyushu, it is not possible to set regular schedules on routes with sections where operations are suspended, so there is no choice but to reduce the number of flights due to vehicle operation.
As for the fact that some passengers failed to make it, we apologize for the inconvenience and ask passengers to use it with all the weather.
Due to typhoon No. 14, JR conventional lines are expected to continue to be affected by the suspension of operations in some areas after tomorrow 22, and some sections will be delayed until next month.
According to JR Kyushu, it is as follows.
If security is confirmed, it is expected that the number of trains will be reduced compared to the first train of the 22nd and will resume operation.
● Nippo main line from Kokubu to Miyakonojo
● From Kiire to Makurazaki on the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line
Reduce the number of trains on 22
● Kagoshima-Chuo – Kokubu on the Nippo main line
