Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

The incident involved JR West (West Japan Railway Company), operating the Tokaido Line in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. During January 24-25, 2018, heavy snowfall led to many trains stopping for extended periods between stations, resulting in passenger discomfort and health issues. Despite prior advisories on ensuring transportation safety and passenger rescue during snowfall, the company’s response was deemed insufficient. The Kinki Transport Bureau issued an administrative guidance on January 25, 2018, under the Railway Business Act, requesting the company to review the incident, identify causes, implement measures to prevent recurrence, and verify the reporting system for railway accidents. The company was also instructed to promptly report the measures taken in writing.
