北陸新幹線、被災前水準に　３月１４日から運行本数復旧

　ＪＲ東日本は９日、昨年１０月の台風１９号の影響で一部運休が続いていた北陸新幹線について、３月１４日から運行本数を被災前の水準に戻すと発表した。新造車両を投入するほか、浸水被害を受けた長野新幹線車両センターの一部が復旧し、運行に利用できるようになるため。
　北陸新幹線は台風１９号によって、全運行車両の３分の１に当たる１０編成１２０両が浸水被害を受け、廃車となった。この影響で本来よりも少ない本数で運行を続けている。（2020/01/09-15:44）

East Japan Railway Co. , or JR East, said Thursday that the typhoon-hit Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train line will resume full services on March 14.
   Services on the line, which connects Tokyo and Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, central Japan, via such prefectures as Nagano, have been reduced since Typhoon Hagibis struck Japan in October last year.
   JR East's Shinkansen yard in the city of Nagano was inundated due to the flooding of a major river caused by heavy rain from the powerful typhoon, damaging 10 12-car trains for the line, including some owned by West Japan Railway Co. , or JR West, the other operator of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line.
   The damaged trains, which made up about one-third of all Hokuriku Shinkansen trains used in pre-typhoon services, were scrapped.
   The recovery to the pre-typhoon level operations will come on the back of the introduction of newly built trains and the partial restoration of the flooded train yard, according to JR East.
