WNAM REPORT: Tokyo’s Yamanote Line fully resumed train services early Friday afternoon after a power outage paralyzed the vital part of the capital’s transportation network from the day’s first scheduled run, the operator JR East said.
The railway company said the power outage occurred around 3:50 a.m., likely due to an issue with an electrical facility serving a section between Shimbashi and Shinagawa stations in central Tokyo.
While trains on the Keihin-Tohoku Line, which runs parallel to the Yamanote Line on part of its route, were initially running, services were also stopped due to the outage and delays caused on other lines in Tokyo and its vicinity.
The Keihin-Tohoku Line services also resumed in the early afternoon.
