JR East station removals raise questions over unstaffed station toilet

Original: 無人駅

A Japanese report has drawn attention to JR East's removal of clocks, escalators and toilet paper from some stations as part of cost-saving and staffing cuts. At one unstaffed station, the toilet showed what readers called an unexpected sight, prompting the outlet to question the railway company about the practice. The story is fueling debate on social media about how far JR East is trimming services at stations without staff.

Why now: A fresh report on JR East stripping facilities from unstaffed stations has struck a nerve amid concern over declining rural rail services in Japan
