The earthquake on the 7th has affected JR and private railways in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
According to JR East, due to the impact of this earthquake, 16 conventional lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area, such as the Tohoku / Hokuriku / Joetsu Shinkansen, Yamanote Line and Keihin Tohoku Line, will be suspended or delayed from the night of the 7th to the 8th. In total, it affected 368,100 people.
JR Shonan-Shinjuku Line is expected to resume at around 3:00 pm
According to JR East, the platform of Akabane Station was flooded with people due to the disruption of the timetable due to the earthquake
. However, it resumed operation after 11:00 am.
▽ For the same reason, the Utsunomiya Line and Takasaki Line also suspended operation for about 20 minutes around 9:30 am, but are now restarting.
Currently, routes other than the Shonan-Shinjuku line are resuming operation.
▽ The Shonan-Shinjuku Line was expected to resume operation around noon, but due to the ongoing disruption of the timetable, the prospect of resumption is around 3:00 pm.
All of the admission restrictions that had been enforced due to congestion at stations around the world have been lifted, but since there are still significant delays on many routes, JR East will check the latest operation information on its website. At the same time, I would like you to use it with more time than usual.
Nippori-Toneri Liner
Nippori-Toneri Liner, a new transportation system that has been derailed due to the impact of the earthquake, has not been able to resume operation since the first train.
Other private railway lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area operate as usual, but some have the effect of canceling direct operation with other companies' lines or causing delays.
