On April 25, 2005, a JR West train derailed on the Fukuchiyama Line, and 107 people died, 106 passengers and the driver. Earlier in the run, the train had overshot its stopping position at Itami Station by about 72 meters and arrived there about one minute and eight seconds late.
JR West had a practice called nikkin kyōiku, day-shift education. After an incident, a crew member could be moved to day duty and retrained. The Kobe Shimbun calls it punitive training. It writes that the investigators’ report suggests that the driver may have been under pressure from the nikkin kyōiku he had been through.
