That's a huge loss, especially when trying to figure out your "last train" options.

"It's all there," assuming all you need is JR services. That's only a tiny amount of the usefulness that Hyperdia added. Playing around with it a bit, Hyperdia is still going to be quite useful in calculating the best route and about how long it will take, but no more "last train," and it also makes it much more complicated to meet up with someone at a designated station and time and for each to figure out exactly what they need to do to get there.
