On the 21st, a part of the bridge on the Tohoku Main Line was found to be damaged between Koriyama and Sendai in Fukushima Prefecture, where the Tohoku Shinkansen is out of service, and JR said that it would stop operating a temporary rapid train for alternative transportation. As a result of the restoration work, it will be operated from around noon on the 22nd.
The Tohoku-Hokkaido Shinkansen resumed operation on some sections from the 22nd, and the closed section was shortened between Koriyama in Fukushima Prefecture and Ichinoseki in Iwate Prefecture.
For this section, JR East will use a special train on the conventional line for alternative transportation, and will operate three temporary rapid trains per day between Sendai and Ichinoseki on the Tohoku Main Line.
On the other hand, between Koriyama and Sendai, the bridge in Fukushima Prefecture was found to be damaged on the 21st, so it was said that the temporary rapid train would be canceled for the time being, but as a result of restoration work, it will operate from around noon on the 22nd. It was decided.
We plan to drive up from the train departing Sendai at 11:56 am and down from the train departing Koriyama at 2:17 pm, and will operate 3 up and 4 down in one day on the 22nd. ..
Also, on the Tohoku Main Line, it was said that driving would be suspended between Fukushima and Fujita in Fukushima Prefecture other than the temporary rapid train, but the speed was slowed down near the bridge at the site, and it was decided to drive from the train on the afternoon of the 22nd. ..
