I once had to sit on a Shinkanasen train for 3 hours waiting out a typhoon. Luckily, the train was at a station so we could get off and stretch our legs, get some food other than eki bentos.
Usually, not. Since I don't want to send jitters up the OP's spine, I'll refrain from referring to another relevant thread on this topic. But, seriously, I'd wager big bucks that we won't see a train rear end one of its counterparts for at least a year; the MOR people know that their heads are on the line (literally).
