Also liked the Enoden episode, but then I'm a tram guy... Rich K. 1 Link to comment

Sarah has always reminded me of a person, unfortunately also visually !, with which I had to collect negative experiences ... Good that she is gone. Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Russel was corny but genuinely seemed to be enjoying himself. The newer host always feels fake to me and condescending to his Japanese co-hosts. Link to comment

bobbodaclown Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 New Episode! 26 July 2019 JR Osaka Loop Line: Developing a Better, More User-Friendly Line JR West's Osaka Loop Line is the main artery for public transport in Osaka. 13 of the line's 19 stations connect to subways and major private railways. Unfortunately, there were complaints that the stations are now too old and inconvenient to use. In response, JR West began the "Osaka Loop Line Development Project." The company introduced a new 3-door train and began renovating the station buildings and platforms. See JR West's efforts to develop a better, more passenger-friendly line. In "Trains in Focus" join us on the Hello Kitty wrapped "Kansai-Airport Express Haruka," and the cute Hello Kitty Shinkansen. Link to comment

HankyuDentetsu Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 That was a pretty good episode to be fair. Love it when they focus more on commuter rail and station infrastructure, rather than rural tourist trains. Am I the only one who is appalled by the Hello Kitty treatment they've given to the N500, the best looking and coolest Shinkansen ever made? Link to comment
