Deputy stationmaster drunk and entered the track and made false reports Kanagawa Ebina May 1: 16:27

Last month, at a Sagami Railway station running in Kanagawa prefecture, I found that there was a problem that the deputy stationmaster who got drunk entered the track and the operation was delayed. It was also found that a deputy stationmaster's colleague had told the company that the passenger had entered the track, and the company disciplined the suspension of the two.

According to the Sagami Railway, the station staff found that the deputy stationmaster in his 50s was sitting on the track at Kashiwadai Station on the Sotetsu Line in Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture on the evening of the 5th of last month, and it was extremely Pushing the stop button delayed the train operation by up to 6 minutes.

The deputy station manager had finished working this afternoon, and was on the way home with a colleague at a nearby restaurant.

The next day, another deputy station manager explained to the company, "A customer entered, but ran away."

After that, an internal report revealed that the report was a lie, and Sagami Railway has disciplined the suspension of the deputy stationmaster who entered the track and the deputy stationmaster who explained the lie.

The deputy station manager who entered the track said, "I don't remember because I was drunk," and the deputy station manager who told me that I was lying was saying, "I thought I would protect my colleague because it would be a heavy disposition."

Regarding this trouble, Sagami Railway has not publicized it or reported it to the police as a response to internal standards.

Sagami Railway says, "We apologize for the inconvenience, and are working hard to prevent this from happening again."
