JR Yokosuka Line overshoots Shimbashi Station by 230 meters
A JR Yokosuka Line train overran a railway station platform in Tokyo by 230 meters Saturday morning, East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) officials said.
The train driver told bosses that he was desperate to make up for a delay. "My train was behind schedule. I was thinking about making up for the delay and slow in applying the brakes," he was quoted as saying.
At around 9:40 a.m., the 15-carriage local train bound for Chiba from Zushi failed to stop at Shimbashi Station in Minato-ku, Tokyo, JR East officials said. A station worker noticed the trouble and activated an alarm.
The driver applied the emergency brakes and stopped the train about 230 meters beyond the end of the platform, then went back to the station. The train eventually left Shimbashi Station 12 minutes behind schedule.
The incident delayed two following trains, affecting about 1,600 passengers, JR East officials said.

This is news? FFS, get real japanese....
Actually John, this shows the Japanese (Unlike Australia) Care about their rail, and when a problem such as this happens it is not taken well within the community. Although with Substandard rail here in Australia compared to Japan where we don't care, I suppose people do not understand that this in Japan is considered news as it is actually a big deal. It is not on. 'Get Real John' :P.
Bloody loosen up, someone made a mistake, boo hoo, live with it, life goes on.
