According to an interview with JR West, in June, a train on the JR Kobe Line overshot its intended stopping point at a station. It has come to light that the driver’s sleep time immediately before starting his shift was reduced from about six hours as scheduled to about one hour due to schedule disruptions caused by a typhoon.

A local train departing from Nishi-Akashi and bound for Kyoto, carrying approximately 250 passengers, came to a stop about 250 meters past the designated stopping point.
