【超過密路線】JR阪和線の光と影 ～「特急街道」の裏で冷遇される地域輸送～

The JR Hanwa Line is a vital trunk line connecting Tennoji Station in Osaka City and Wakayama Station in Wakayama City. While it serves as a commuter line connecting southern Osaka with the Senshu region and Wakayama, it's also known as a "limited express highway," with a diverse array of trains including the Kansai Airport/Kishuji Rapid, as well as the "Haruka" and "Kuroshio" limited express trains. However, behind this splendor, the concentration of trains on the double-track section has led to an increasingly congested timetable. This has resulted in significant drawbacks for local transportation, such as long waiting times for local trains and slower speeds for rapid trains. This time, we'll delve into the current state of local transportation on the JR Hanwa Line, which is being neglected behind the glamorous facade of the "limited express highway"! ■Video Table of Contents 00:00 Prologue 03:09 The Reality of Overcrowded Train Schedules 04:45 The Failed Quadruple-Track Plan 07:21 Neglected Local Transportation 09:35 Many Other Problems 10:37 Ending ■Materials Used ①Sound Effects (Sound Effect Lab) https://soundeffect-lab.info/ ②Background Music (Free BGM DOVA-SYNDROME) https://dova-s.jp/
