>>2041651Meitetsu Nagoya is known as the most chaotic insane station in Japan. Because they run so many trains to and from different directions from just two platforms.
>>2043060JR West isn't building the Shinkansen . It's an organization called JRTT that spends oodles of government money then leases out the tracks to JR for dirt cheap prices. JR West doesn't give a shit if it's a stupid white elephant, because JRTT will lease the tracks to them in such a way that they are guaranteed a profit.
A fucked system all around.
Fuck JR West and the retarded Showa era shinkansen planning law that's still in use.
>>2043078It doesn't matter because the maglev should be in place by then, so there will be plenty of spare capacity on the Tokaido shink by the time it's built.
>>2045721The Shikoku shinkansen is an asinine dream that will never be built. The only argument for it is that all the other islands have a shink so it is unfair that Shikoku is excludeed. But when you look at the depopulation rate and the way cities in Shikoku are spread out instead of being along a single axis, it would ba a ridiculously stupid project.
Shikoku will be an uninhabited island by the time a Shinkansen would open in 2050
