We had a little excitement on our train trip to Narita airport yesterday. I've not seen details in the news, but we heard at the time that there was an injury accident or suicide which blocked the line leading to our Tokyo station.

We heard other people on our plane also say they had to do the same thing to make the flight - so it was a big mess.
