Night train Hokutosei - one per day 2008/1/16 19:08
Hello everybody,

I read that there will be only one Hokutosei night train from Ueno to Sapporo from march 2008. I assume that this will be the same for the other way round from Sapporo to Ueno? If that is the case, does anyone know which time it will depart in Sapporo (2 and 4 were at approx. 17.00 and 19.00 or something like that). I need to go from Sapporo to Tokyo on the 12th of May 2008 and I am worried that the one remaining train will be crowded.
Thank you very much for your help!
Tobi

Hokutosei #1 and #4 will be stopped. But there might be a change of the timetable of the remaining Hokutosei #2 and #3. The timetables have not yet been published.
