Electrical problem in Tokyo

This escalator doesn't work in the train for saving electricity.

The frequency of trains is low.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. has lost about 27 per cent of its electricity generation capacity and will be short of demand by about 10 million kilowatts.

The blackouts will affect outlying areas of Tokyo and regions surrounding the capital, but will not hit central Tokyo. Each will last 3 hours and they will begin in stages from 6:20am and run until 10pm every day.

The government warned they could go on for several weeks.


輪番停電、毎日、やるやるって言ってるけど、とりあえず、家も職場もまだです。
けど、この影響で電車の本数は少ないし、エスカレーターは使えない。
お年寄りがゆっくりゆっくり、休みながら階段を上る姿を見るのは辛い・・・。
早く福島原発の問題が収まりますように。
