In JR West, approximately 30 trains of Sanyo Shinkansen trains are parked at the "Hakata General Rolling Stock Office" in Nakagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture.



However, in order to prevent typhoon No. 10 from approaching Kyushu and damaging the Shinkansen's vehicles due to strong winds and disrupting operation, we decided to evacuate part of the formation outside the prefecture.

It is planned to move to a depot in Hiroshima City or Okayama City within 6 days.



The vehicle base of the Hokuriku Shinkansen in Nagano City was flooded by typhoon No. 19 last October, and it was learned that JR West Japan was flooded by a river, and the vehicle base was flooded. Last month I was collecting the measures to evacuate.

The Sanyo Shinkansen will be suspended between Hiroshima Station and Hakata Station on the 7th, from the first train to the last day.
