In 15 years of riding the Shinkansen multiple times a year, just had the first delay I’ve ever seen: eight minutes, for a train which goes cross country. Train staff is now updating the schedule so that people transferring to local trains at e.g. Nagoya know which to get on.

Announcement just now: “Although responding to a passenger in distress resulted in us arriving late into Tokyo, departing Tokyo 8 minutes behind schedule, and departing Shin-Yokohama 5 minutes behind schedule, we believe we will arrive in Nagoya as scheduled.”

Announcement continued: “There exists the possibility that we will not arrive in Nagoya as scheduled, depending on conditions en route. Thank you for your patience and cooperation; we deeply regret the inconvenience.”

Reminds me of my former boss who always used to say to us: "How do projects fall behind schedule? One day at a time." That mentality was baked into the firm's culture. None of our projects ended late in the 10+ years I was there. One project finished 12 days ahead of schedule.

I just rode on it for the first time recently! Was very impressed. Smoothest way to travel intra-state that I have seen anywhere esp with the service to send luggage beforehand.

My shallow outsider Americanocentric view is that there's some relationship between this and Japan's high suicide rate. Off base?
