2024年7月22日の未明、東海道新幹線で保守車両が脱線する事故があり、名古屋ー浜松で始発から運転を見合わせている影響で、京都市下京区のJR京都駅の新幹線改札口前も出張のビジネス客や外国人観光客で大混雑した。

In the early hours of July 22, 2024, a maintenance vehicle derailed on the Tokaido Shinkansen line, which led to the suspension of services from the first train between Nagoya and Hamamatsu. As a result, the area in front of the Shinkansen ticket gates at JR Kyoto Station in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, was extremely crowded with business travelers and foreign tourists.
