The move aims to improve comfort and prevent heatstroke amid rising temperatures and changing workplace expectations. Around 340 train crew members across lines such as the Tenjin-Omuta Line will be affected. The sunglasses, produced by Osaka-based Talex, are designed to reduce fatigue without affecting color perception. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nishitetsu.co.jp\/ja\/news\/news20250324\/main\/0\/link\/24_137.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishitetsu<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_nishitetsu-train-tenjin-feb_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nishitetsu Train Staff to Adopt Flexible Uniform Policy and Sunglasses\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_nishitetsu-train-tenjin-feb_2025_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_nishitetsu-train-tenjin-feb_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_nishitetsu-train-tenjin-feb_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_nishitetsu-train-tenjin-feb_2025_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
