Taiwan rail operators adjust services amid holiday travel and approaching typhoon

Taiwan Railway Corporation announced additional express train services between Taipei and Taichung to accommodate increased passenger traffic ahead of the Retrocession Day holiday weekend. The surge coincides with the approach of Typhoon Champi, with reports indicating high-speed rail departures heading south were nearly fully booked. The storm track reportedly shifted westward, though whether land warnings will be issued and when disruptions may take effect remain unconfirmed.
