Peter Osborne Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Around about 22.00 UK time I follow the Chizu express HOT 7000 over 3 live stream cams between Kyoto and Shin Osaka Station, then shortly afterwards the recent kiha 189 leaves the depot to runs empty towards Shin Osaka. Final diesel unit is a 3 car Hida 85 at about 23.00 UK time. I know these units are about 30 years old now and looking rather worn are they due for replacement? Link to comment

Yes, they will be gradually replaced from 2022 as the new HC85 types are introduced to service. Edited January 27, 2021 by bikkuri bahn 1 Link to comment
