Passengers going to Aichi Expo aboard the Linimo, a new train built for the expo, suffered an additional delay this morning. A little after 10:15am, the Linimo suddenly stopped just before the expo station. It started moving again, and then overshot the station. The driver then took the controls off automatic, and manually backed the train into the station.

The Linimo was fully loaded at the time, and as readers may understand from my early notes on getting to the expo, the Linimo’s capacity is inadequate to the task of transporting expo goers, even without a breakdown.

After only a 10 minute stoppage, the Linimo was back in action. As for a cause, authorities are said to be investigating.

Today, the total number of visitors to Aichi Expo since its openning is expected to exceed 8 million. Daily attendance routinely exceeds 100 thousand, and in this country where trains are the primary form of transportation, the Linimo provides the only train access to the expo.

The Linimo experienced more serious delays on March 19th, six days before the scheduled opening of the expo. 53,000 invited guests came to see the expo grounds, and then, as now, the Linimo was the primary method of access. Load weight sensors mounted on the train’s undercarriage fired at lighter loads than expected, and as a result the doors wouldn’t close. The solution for that day was to let fewer passengers on board at one time.
