At around 4:40 pm on the 22nd, at Shizu Station on the JR Suigun Line in Naka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, the conductor who was on the uphill regular train went out to the platform and responded to the passengers who offered to settle. However, the train departed and was left behind on the platform.
The driver noticed that the conductor was not on board because the door did not open when the train arrived at the next Urizura station.
The conductor walked to Urizura Station, which is about 1.4 km away in a straight line, and the train that was waiting for that time departed 18 minutes late.
According to the JR East Mito branch office, there were about 80 passengers on the train, but no one was injured.
