Tobu Tojo line disrupted services due to heavy rain

It would seem heavy rain was wreaking havoc again yesterday, September 11th 2025. The Tobu Tojo line had to stop and suspend services in sections yesterday evening, just as people were coming home from school and work, due to heavy rain.

The Tobu Tojo line is one of the principal train lines in Saitama Prefecture. It connects Ikebukuro (among others) in Tokyo to several commuter towns and cities, including Kawagoe city.

Other than the Tobu Tojo line, other Tobu lines were disrupted. For example, the Tobu Skytree Line canceleed direct operation with the Hanzomon Line due to heavy rain on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line, and suspended operation between some stations.
