Typhoon No.19 Tokyo Metropolitan Railway planned suspension: October 12th 2:56 on most sections, except for some
With the approach of Typhoon No.19, the metropolitan railways have decided to carry out planned suspensions in almost all sections except for some subways, and will cease operation sequentially from the morning of the 12th. For this reason, on the 12th, the railway is virtually unusable, especially in the city center.
Among these, JR East has decided to stop driving the entire Tokyo metropolitan area and some conventional lines in Shizuoka Prefecture from around 9:00 am on the 12th.
In addition, the Tohoku, Yamagata, Akita, Hokuriku, and Joetsu Shinkansen trains will be reduced in number after 11 am on the 12th, and then suspended.
The planned suspension is scheduled for Sunday around noon on the 13th, but if there is damage from a typhoon, there is a risk of a significant delay.
Also, on the Tokaido Shinkansen, driving will be canceled between Tokyo and Nagoya from the first train to the entire day.
Other major railway companies also announce planned suspensions.
Stopping operation on all lines from noon on the 12th, Tokyu Electric Railway, Odakyu Electric Railway, Sagami Railway, Tama City Monorail, Tobu Railway, Keio Electric Railway, Rinkai Line of Tokyo Rinkai High Speed Railway, Seibu Railway, Metropolitan New Urban Railway No Tsukuba Express, Yurikamome and Tokyo Monorail.
Also, Tokyo Metro and Tokyo Metropolitan Transportation Bureau will stop driving from the afternoon of the 12th to the whole day, mainly on routes and sections running on the ground.
