On the night time of the 2nd, an inbound practice and a outbound practice working on a single observe on the JR Kawagoe Line have been in bother, and it was discovered that each trains have been checking the inexperienced gentle when leaving the station. I used to be. JR is investigating the opportunity of a malfunction within the sign system.
Before 10:00 pm on the 2nd, the outbound practice that departed from Sashiogi Station in Saitama City on the JR Kawagoe Line and the inbound practice that departed from Minami-Furuya Station in Kawagoe City reached a distance of about 600 meters on the identical single observe. There was bother approaching.
According to JR East, the trains detected that they have been approaching one another and the sign turned “red”, so the drivers of every practice stopped and there was no accident.
Due to this bother, the Kawagoe Line was suspended for about three hours, and about 200 passengers on the 2 trains have been trapped inside.
The two trains left the station at 9:51 pm and 52 pm on the 2nd, respectively, and at the moment, they confirmed that the sign on the station was “inexperienced”.
Most of the part between Sashiogi Station and Minami-Furuya Station is a single observe, and JR East had an issue with the sign system as a result of the alerts at each the up and down stations by no means turned “green” on the similar time. We are trying into the doable causes.
