It's also worth sharing a photo of the dispatcher's console, used on the Shinkansen platforms. 

Their role seems to be solely to open and close the platform edge doors, and some associated safety checks. 

Looks pretty cool through!

It's almost 9am and I'm at this insalubrious bus terminal, smelling of diesel fumes. 

More popular than the public transport is the tonkatsu restaurant here, that has a queue of hundreds stretching around the terminal 😅😂 Seriously! 

Clearly this is excellent tonkatsu!

(Sadly I cannot take a photo, as it obviously contains many people)
