TOKYO, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- Train services on Japan's JR Yokosuka line between Tokyo and Yokohama stations were suspended on Thursday due to fallen objects in a tunnel.
East Japan Railway Company, or JR East, said multiple pieces of concrete were confirmed to have fallen onto the tracks in the tunnel between Tokyo and Shinagawa stations, and operations were suspended starting from the first train on Thursday morning.
Officials said the closed section was extended from Tokyo to Yokohama stations due to restoration work.
JR East's Narita Express trains, which connect Narita Airport in Chiba Prefecture and the greater Tokyo area, have consequently been suspended from the first departure on all routes, but are expected to resume in the afternoon. ■
