frannyo 2 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Anyone caught up in the trouble on the Yamanote line? I was just watching the news and it showed some JR staff dudes giving out some note to passengers that seemed to just say that the train was late. Whats that for? To show work as proof that it was the train that was late?!? Link to post Share on other sites

me jane 0 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yep, Franno that's what it's for. Have to get them for most J-companies to avoid your pay getting docked for being late. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's Furikae Joshahyo (transfer ticket). If you get it, you can take another JR, Metro or private railways to your destination for free. Chuo line almost everyday has to give this ticket because of fatal accident. It's very weird why always Chuo line... Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 "The JR Yamanote and Keihin Tohoku lines in Tokyo were stopped for up to five hours Monday morning due to a slack overhead power line, affecting 170,000 commuters. The problem was discovered at about 8:15 a.m. on the inner, counterclockwise-traveling loop of the Yamanote Line at Tokyo Station, but at about 10:30 a.m. operations also were suspended on the outer loop of the line and on the Keihin Tohoku Line headed for Omiya Station in Saitama. According to East Japan Railway Co., the slack was first noticed by an employee at the station on the Yamanote's inner loop. The employee called the station control room and said that a pantograph that connects the train to the power line had made an unusual noise when passing by. When employees investigated, they discovered that a 1.5-kilometer-long section of the line between Yurakucho and Kanda stations was slack." there is your reason Frannyo. ps. Slow I think they are talking about the "chien shomeisho" - a proof certificate of delay. Link to post Share on other sites
