	[NewLC] To post a message
		For example a trip from Mukogawa station (Nishinomiya-Shi) to Kyoto for example it states to take train the Hanshin Honsen line then change for JR line at Amagasaki station (Hanshin Honsen line), but the it does not factor the transfer time from Amagasaki station to JR Line Amagasaki station which is about 15 to 20minutes.
		The best transfer point would be in Osaka at Umeda station (take Hanshin Honsen to Umeda, then at Umeda station transfer to JR line to Kyoto at Osaka station) not Amagasaki Station.
		I think this area needs a little more work, of course the directions get you to your destination, but the transfer time should be included as well as the most convenient transfer points.

	View on Fukuchiyama Line Accident
		The reason why the driver probably increased speed at the corner of the curve was because he overran at a previous station, Itami Station, he tried to recover the lost time.
		Apparently being aware that he would be in trouble again with the manager, the driver persuaded the conductor at the back of the train to report he had overrun the station by 8 meters.
		The driver who overran the station with one-and-a-half minute delay probably thought of fear of punishment in his mind.
