(JR East) announced June 30. The move comes in response to requests from the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which expects spectators at the events. The extra services will add one to two hours to the schedule daily. Parts of the Yamanote Line, the Keihin-Tohoku Line and the Negishi Line will also offer services in the 2 a.m. hour.

JR East alone will run around 4900 extra services, typically 250 to 300 extra services/day. Edited July 1, 2021 by bikkuri bahn fix links 1 Link to comment
Yavianice Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Will be fun when visitors will be banned from the Olympics, something which is possible now that the covid cases are on the rise again. What will happen then? Link to comment
