    During this period, passengers will remain on board, with cabin lighting switched on throughout.

    I thought that was a typo, but

    室内灯は点灯したままとなる。

    from Yomiuri. That does not sound fun. I mean, I can nap on the shinkansen most of the time, but I don’t think I could sleep through the night like that.

    They should bring back more sleeper trains instead.

      Even cross-border sleeper trains where everyone gets out with their bags, goes through customs, and back on the train aren’t as bad since everything goes back to sleep protocol after the crossing. Lights on and people bording while the train doesn’t even have the gentle motion and noise to help you sleep sounds literally worse than a bus. These aren’t even beds, you’re sleeping in a passenger seat.
