josefstadt Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sign seen in Tokyo Station. I wonder if the Japanese have hit upon a new revenue stream? Could IÉ follow suit? Supplementary fare for travelling in the more sheltered pocket wagons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) You might struggle to get a container on one, even if there was space left.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwbPdF5dIgQ "There is a small number of suburban "liner" trains on the JR network, e.g. Home Liner, which require a special "liner ticket" and are not covered by the Japan Rail Pass. However, since these trains are targeted at suburban commuters, foreign tourists are unlikely to use them. Confusingly, there are also a few trains that contain "Liner" in their names, but do not require a liner ticket, such as the Marine Liner, Seaside Liner and Ishikari Liner. These trains are fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass." http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361.html Edited April 23, 2015 by Broithe One day, I will type it right first time...

jhb171achill Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That would terrify the wits out of me. I wonder how long their commute takes, or how someone not near a door gets out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broithe Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think they anticipate that everybody is going to the terminus (possibly, whether they want to or not). I love the professionalism of it - the special white gloves - and the enthusiasm of the one lad who runs to the next door to shove one more in....
