Moving block in action (JR East Saikyo Line)
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
Scene at Minami Yono (?) Station on the Saikyo Line. Due to an incident at Musashi Urawa station, the schedule/pathings were disrupted. Thus the stacked trains here. Look at that approach speed and train spacing, as well as quick re-start from stop. A visual example of the benefit of moving block which is a feature of JR East ATACS. ATACS is the equivalent of ERTMS level 3.-

bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
An internet survey conducted last month of 703 adults living in the Tokyo Metropolitan area yielded these results(selected reasons follow): Best 3 1. Yamanote Line (convenient, the core of the transport network) 2. Tokyu Toyoko Line (runs through nice neighborhoods, passengers are fashionable) 3. Tokyu Den-en Toshi Line (same as above) Worst 3 1. JR Saikyo Line (full of chikan) 2. JR Keihin Tohoku Line (dirty image) 3. JR Joban Line (full of drunks, delinquents from the boondocks i.e Chiba, Ibaraki) http://bizmakoto.jp/makoto/articles/1505/26/news080.html -
NHK Documentary- Tokyo Reborn: Shibuya Station redevelopment
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
Recent broadcast on NHK general about the redevelopment of the Shibuya Station area, with a focus on the opening of the Saikyo Line platform adjacent to the Yamanote Line platform, and the movement of tracks as well as the railway bridge crossing the old Oyama Road leading to Dougenzaka and the Shibuya Scramble intersection. 1000 construction workers and specialists along with 100 vehicles were given 52 hours to do the task, while observing covid-19 countermeasures. Everything had to be finished at the end of 52 hours and full restoration of Saikyo Line services. Everything was timed to the minute, with each person tasked with specific duties. There was even a mock bridge set up off site to rehearse the move and set procedures. Other parts of the documentary explain the redevelopment of the station area to improve passenger and pedestrian circulation and safety in the event of natural disasters, in coordination with four different railway companies.- 3 replies
