Replacement for 381 series 'Yakumo' coming closer
Densha posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
On Japanese television there have been reports of test runs that will take place in search of a replacement for the 381 series on the Yakumo limited express service. The television program shows a JR Shikoku 8600 series, although according to one of the comments on the Facebook post there have been test runs with this train type on JR West territory already last month.
