Crack Found on Saturday's Shinkansen Bullet Train Between Tokyo and Osaka

A window crack on a Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka forced a temporary slowdown, the operator said late Saturday.

A steel plate from communication devices inside a tunnel in central Japan reportedly came loose and struck the window of the No. 16 car on the Nozomi 317 train on Saturday morning, according to the railway company. Operations for the Tokaido Shinkansen line continued without disruption on Sunday.

Shinkansen services in Japan, known for their punctuality and reliability, have recently been delayed or halted due to accidents, including an incident earlier this month when train cars separated while in motion.

As stated by JR Central, the separated metal plate, measuring 30 centimeters in length and 60 centimeters wide at its broadest part, with a weight of 4 kilograms, was discovered within the tunnel.

The bullet train decelerated until passengers in the last of its 16 coaches were transferred to other cars.



啟德綠色交通升級：新增承景街站，2031年亮相

政府提出了關於启德新“智慧城市绿色集体运输系统”的改进计划，建议将靠近住宅区的部分线路改为沿着启德空中花园建设，从而使该系统的建筑与周围楼宇之间的距离从大约10米扩大到约20米，以此减少对附近住户的影响。当局还打算在启德邮轮码头和启德空中花园之间增设一个名为承景街站的新站点，这使得整个路线上的车站数量将从原来的5个增加到了6个，从而提高交通运输便捷性。根据规划目标，在2025年下半年开始招标，并预计于2026年签订合同；通过创新建造方法加速工程进度，力争于2031年前完成项目。

運輸及物流局指出，有住戶對於啟德前飛機場跑道區域內、靠近啟德空中花園的部分輕鐵路線離住宅太近表達了擔憂，害怕會干擾日常生活。基於此，當局提議把這一段軌道遷移到啟德空中花園之上，讓交通系統和建築物之間的最近間距加倍，從現有的大約10米加寬到約20米，以減低噪音污染以及改善景觀效果。此外，這一路段可以覆蓋在空中花園之下方，為公眾創造一個更加宜人的行步體驗，同時優化周邊開放空間的規劃布局。

政府建議在同一計劃中於承景街新增一站，令車站總數從目前的五個增加到六個，旨在擴展綠色公共交通網絡的服務範疇。新建的承景街站靠近啟德郵輪碼頭入境大廳，並將興建一條行人天橋直接通往郵輪碼頭的一層換乘區域，為居民和遊客提供便捷的轉線體驗。

按照土木工程拓展署先前遞交的文檔顯示，启德新市镇铁路系统全长约为3.5公里，并计划设立五个车站：分别是港铁启德站、启德体育园站、都会公园站、旧跑道区住宅地带站以及启德邮轮码头站。最新的规划则新增了承景街站，以进一步优化沿线交通布局。

運輸及物流局表示，該部門會採取「雙創」理念來推動這些項目，其中包括提早發佈招標公告同時開始一些法律規定的手續，還打算使用预制组件和机电装备集成技术来加速工程进度。预计于2025年下半年进行招标活动，并争取在2026年签订合同，目标是在2031年前竣工。然而九龙中的立法会议员杨永杰认为该计划应在更早的时间内完成，建议将项目时间表缩短至2028年底之前结束。
