cd46578 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 If it's at Odawara, how come there is an E217 running parallel ? Link to comment
bill937ca Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 The second one isn't Odawara. Series 500 videos are becoming rarer. Link to comment
Bernard Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The second one isn't Odawara. Series 500 videos are becoming rarer. Bill - Do you think that will totally be phased out? That would be a shame it's such a unique design. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 I don't think so. I just don't see them much anymore. There's only 9 of them and I think they are two separate groups now. Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 If it's at Odawara, how come there is an E217 running parallel ? It's somewhere along the line where the Tokaido Shinkansen runs alongside the Yokosuka Line (perhaps in Ota Ward in Tokyo??). I think these scenes will be history come this October, with the autumn timetable change and the end of the two remaining 500 series Nozomi services into Tokyo. Link to comment
bill937ca Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Latest news on the 500s. "Japan Echo" now has a children's cab directly behind the cab in car 8 and "by manipulating the handle in the car while driving, you can feel a sense of realism that is actually driving the Shinkansen."
