  Amagasaki rail crash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is because at stations (including the train's next scheduled stop, Amagasaki Station) trains meet on both sides of the same platform to allow people to transfer between express and local trains running on the same line.
As a result of this, Masataka Ide, JR West adviser who played a major role in enforcing the punctuality of the company's trains, announced that he would resign in June 2005 at the company's annual shareholder meeting, with the company's chairman and president resigning in August.
The section where the crash occurred, between Amagasaki and Takarazuka stations, was re-opened for service on June 19, 2005.

AMAGASAKI, Hyogo -- The Amagasaki Municipal Health Center is encouraging people traumatised by the April 25 train disaster to consult with local health officials, as center officials believe that the large number of requests for consultation so far are only "the tip of the iceberg."
Since the fatal derailment 108 people in Hyogo and Osaka prefectures, including those related to the victims and those with no connection to the accident at all, have filed complaints of mental uneasiness and health problems with local governments.
Several people who were in Hyogo Prefecture when the Great Hanshin Earthquake hit the area in January 1995 told the Hyogo Institute of Traumatic Stress that they had flashbacks of the killer quake upon learning of the train accident.
