It looks like JR Kobe Line services will be significantly reduced on February 22, 2026.
The reduced service will be between “Ashiya Station and Nishi-Akashi Station,” but nearby sections will also be affected, so be careful.
目次
Timetable for February 22
Inbound Schedule (Akashi/Sannomiya area → Nishinomiya City)
The times shown in gray will be “suspended”. In railway shorthand, that’s “uya.”
Outbound Schedule (Kyoto/Osaka area → Nishinomiya City)
The times shown in yellow indicate “changes to arrival and departure times.” It looks like replacement bus service will also be available.
If You Have a Commuter Pass, You Can Also Ride Hankyu or Hanshin
“Alternative transportation” will also be provided that day, so if you have a commuter pass, you can take Hankyu or Hanshin home too.
“Alternative transportation” cannot be used with an IC card, except for commuter passes. You’ll need to pay the regular fare.
Finally
Train service will be reduced due to “concentrated nighttime maintenance work.” If you have a JR commuter pass that includes the affected section, you can ride Hankyu or Hanshin, so why not try taking a different route home for a change?
