>>1876117>"which route will they take for the section between Tsuruga and Kyoto"Unless the environmental asessment is so bad that it makes sense to reroute, the route is already set to pic related. From Tsuruga to Higashi-Obama, then in a long-ass tunnel under rural Kyoto, Kyoto station, north to Matsuiyamate station, and finally turning west to Shin-Osaka. JR Central denied just joining into Tokaido Shinkansen at any location because it's already at capacity(which is immediately obvious during peak holidays like Obon).
But what if it's the the giant tunnel that's blocking the whole thing?
Do they abandon Obama and get closer to lake Biwa? Do they abandon Kyoto and route via Kyotamba and/or Kameoka?
