>>1767875>>1767991Rewrote anon's post to make it more readable. Also added some changes for accuracy
-E7 rollout on Joetsu Shinkansen, delayed from 2020 due to Typhoon Hagibis destroying all those E7 sets
-Yamagata/Akita Shinkansen switch to 100% reserved seating

-Kaiji No. 2 (Ryuo 0712~Shinjuku 0904) now leaves Ryuo 14 minutes earlier, arriving at Shinjuku @ 0842. Commuting from Kofu into Tokyo seems like a nightmare IMO, even from Otsuki is a stretch.
