History
Sleeping car service (1958–2009)
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
The Hayabusa service commenced on 1 October 1958, operating between Tokyo and Template:STN.[4] From 20 July 1960, the train was upgraded with 20 series sleeping cars, and extended to run to and from Nishi-Kagoshima (now Template:STN).[4] From 9 March 1975, the train was upgraded with 24 series sleeping cars.[4]
The Hayabusa, along with its counterpart service, the Fuji, was discontinued from the start of the revised timetable on 14 March 2009 due to declining ridership.[5]
Shinkansen service (2011–)
From 5 March 2011, the Hayabusa name was revived for the new Script error: No such module "convert". shinkansen services operated by JR East between Tokyo and Template:STN using new E5 series trainsets,[1] and extended to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station on 26 March 2016.
Rolling stock
The Hayabusa services use 10-car E5 series sets, which initially operated at a maximum speed of Template:Cvt between Utsunomiya and Morioka.[1] The maximum speed was raised to Template:Cvt from the start of the revised timetable on 16 March 2013.[6] From the same date, some services run coupled to E6 series Super Komachi services between Tokyo and Morioka. These services were limited to a maximum speed of Script error: No such module "convert"..[6] Although the train could run up to speeds of Script error: No such module "convert". during test runs, from 2012 its top speed was fixed to 320 km/h for passenger and environmental comfort.[7] Since 15 March 2014, the name of Super Komachi services was returned simply to Komachi, and the maximum speed has been raised to 320 km/h; from the same date, some Hayabusa services are operated by 10-car E5 series sets coupled to 7-car E6 series sets. At Morioka, the E5 series and E6 series sets decouple, with the E5 series set continuing along the Tohoku Shinkansen as the Hayabusa and the E6 series set turning onto the Akita Shinkansen as the Komachi.
From 26 March 2016, with the opening of the Hokkaido Shinkansen from Shin-Aomori to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, the Hayabusa name was used for services operating between Tokyo, Sendai, and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.[8] From the start of the 26 March 2016 timetable revision, ten return services operate daily between Tokyo and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, and one return service daily operates between Sendai and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto.[9]
