fukdane 2 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Just seen on the news plans (decided?) to make 3 extensions to shinkansen lines - one going up to Sapporo in Hokkaido. How do they get these things decided? JR is a private company, right? Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 As they are private i guess it would be a matter of buying up the mand that they need for the tracks. Link to post Share on other sites
its-a-clock 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 From what I could understand of that (admittedly not a huge amount), there seemed to be a fair bit if opposition to them. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Surely JR don't own all the land they are on. (I hope that's not a stupid comment. If it is, I'VE BEEN DRINKING WINE, OK?!) Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Good luck. Last I heard was 10 years to get it cut. But then you guys down south don't know much aobut N Honshu, do you? Link to post Share on other sites

JellyBelly 1 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Where are the other 2? I think I heard one was Osaka to Fukui (?) Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 The other being to Nagasaki Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I think I heard that Joetsu would be getting a station - does that mean the shink will be extended from Nagano up through Myoko to Joestu? That would be good for getting to Arai. Anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 We are getting a Shinkansen station here in Ono/Kamiiso (about 15min north of Hakodate). The two towns will soon join to become one mighty empire to be known as Hokuto City! Not sure when but it is happening! Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 15 miles north of Hakodate... is it a big town? Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 15 minutes!! It is basically next to Hakodate, It is not so big! But I think Hakodate is the third largest city in Hokkaido. So in this area there is probably 500,000 people. Link to post Share on other sites
echineko 1 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I wonder how much it will be from Tokyo to Hokkaido? I think very expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Plane will be much cheaper, right? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 How close to the "N" place will the shinks go? Link to post Share on other sites
guzzlers-baps 0 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 They already go to Nagano. Seriously, they'd have to do some good deals to beat the plane. Link to post Share on other sites
