The impact of Typhoon No. 14 on JR remains. As well as suspending operations on several routes on the 21st, some passengers have said they could not board the train with too many passengers due to a thinning operation.

According to JR Kyushu, five sections were suspended all day on the 21st, and even in sections where operations resumed, thinning operations were performed to reduce the number of trains than usual. For this reason, some passengers at Kagoshima Chuo Station said they were unable to board the train they were trying to board because there were too many passengers.

“I couldn’t get on the train I usually take, so I thought I’d take the next one, but there were too many people, so I came on a shorter time.”

(Q. Will she be in time for school?) “No, I won’t be in time.”

(company employee)

“I had the impression that there were a lot of people, partly because the number of trains was decreasing.”

According to JR Kyushu, regular schedules cannot be set on routes with sections where operation is suspended, so there is no choice but to reduce the number of flights due to vehicle operation.

Regarding the fact that some passengers could not do it, we apologize for the inconvenience, and we call on passengers to use it with enough time.

Due to Typhoon No. 14, JR conventional lines are expected to continue to be affected by suspension of operation in some areas after tomorrow 22nd, and some sections will be delayed until next month.

According to JR Kyushu, it is as follows.

If safety is confirmed, it is expected that the number of trains will decrease from the first train on the 22nd and the operation will resume.

● Nippo Main Line from Kokubu to Miyakonojo

● Kiire to Makurazaki on the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line
