- Category:Other
Many bullet train services between Tokyo and stations in eastern and central Japan were suspended Tuesday due to a power outage, with their operator saying services will not restart soon.
The outage, which began around 10 a.m., affected sections of the Tohoku, Joetsu and Hokuriku shinkansen lines, East Japan Railway Co. said.
The issue was blamed on an overhead electrical wire that was found hanging down on the shinkansen tracks in one location in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, the company said.
Services have been suspended between Tokyo and Sendai stations on the Tohoku line, Tokyo and Echigo-Yuzawa on the Joetsu line, and Tokyo and Nagano on the Hokuriku line, it said.
