Beginning April 1, stations in Sakurada, Mitsusawa, Tsubuku, and five other locations will discontinue onsite staff services. Surveillance cameras and intercoms will be used at those stations to provide safety and customer support. This will make more than half of Nishitetsu\u2019s railway stations unmanned. Meanwhile, 16 groups of local people with disabilities and others recently requested JR Kyushu to cancel plans to remove staff from 29 of its stations. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahi.com\/articles\/ASQ2K72M9Q2KTIPE020.html?iref=comtop_AreaArticle_06\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asahi <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=8311245&amp;ymd=2022-02-17\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/articles\/20220218\/k00\/00m\/020\/057000c\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainichi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-144757\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fnn_nishitetsu-tsubuku-sta_2022_cl.jpeg?resize=1274%2C727&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1274\" height=\"727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fnn_nishitetsu-tsubuku-sta_2022_cl.jpeg?w=1274&amp;ssl=1 1274w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fnn_nishitetsu-tsubuku-sta_2022_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fnn_nishitetsu-tsubuku-sta_2022_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C584&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fnn_nishitetsu-tsubuku-sta_2022_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C438&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Tsubuku_Station.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tatsu127<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Disclaimer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
