Shinkansen platform sharing question.


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Is there anywhere where in Japan where the Shinkansen share an island platform with 3’6 gauge trains?  Shinkansen trains one side of the platform and the 3’6 the other side of the platform. 

 

Thanks

 

Mark.

I believe the new Niigata Station configuration is "almost" there, where Shinkansen and zairaisen tracks on the same level and very close to each other.

Don't forget Shin-Yatsushiro station! Though I am not sure if the normal limited express still stops there after the flop of the gauge changing train.
