Takematsu Station (竹松駅, Takematsu-eki) is the railway station in Ōmura, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu and is on the Ōmura Line.[1][2]

Lines

The station is served by the Ōmura Line and is located 32.8 km from the starting point of the line at Haiki.[3] Besides the local services on the line, the Rapid Seaside Liner also stops at the station.[4]

Station layout

The station consists of two staggered side platforms serving two tracks. From the forecourt, a flight of steps leads up to the station building, a modern steel-frame structure which houses a staffed ticket window and a waiting room. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a level crossing with steps at both ends.[2][3]

Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[5][6]

History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 25 May 1922 as an additional station on what was then the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 December 1934, another route was given the designation Nagasaki Main Line and the track from Haiki, through Takematsu to Isahaya was designated the Ōmura Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[7][8]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,254 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 137th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[9]

gollark: Necessarily, under anarchoprimitivism.

gollark: It is not likely that this sort of thing would never happen again.

gollark: Apparently, humanity was reduced to something like 10000 people in 70000 BC or so due to some bad thing which happened at that time.

gollark: Eventually, everyone would die to some natural disaster or other they weren't technologically able to prevent.
