Japanese trains
Commuters waited in jaw-dropping queues that stretched for several blocks outside train stations in and around Tokyo.
A number of commuters suffered head wounds and serious injuries after the automated train travelled in the wrong direction.
With tatami mats, noren curtains and a zen garden, this is one of the most stunning and affordable ways to travel in Japan.
Elderly passenger purposely halts train and causes delay, ignoring rail staff who try to control the situation.
The suspect claims he’s innocent, despite being in possession of spray cans and bolt cutters.
