On the southwestern Japanese island of Kyushu, the movement of high-speed trains has completely stopped - the cause was a malfunction in the power supply system.
According to the railway company JR Kyushu, the traffic stopped early in the morning, and the restoration work is still delayed.
Problems were found in the receiving devices of trains: they are responsible for the transmission of electricity from the contact wire to the on-board systems and traction engines. This line runs express trains capable of speeds up to 260 km / h.
The annual passenger traffic of high-speed trains to Kyushu is about 14 million people.
