Some JR timetable changes March 15
On March 15 there will be some revision to JR timetables.
Ok i'm just reading this from other railfans, there seems to be a bunch of minor and some major changes, but I'll just put the ones that we often discuss here on flyertalk.

All Nozomi and Hikari Shinkansen will now stop at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo.
There also appears to be a few additional NEX (Narita Express) that will stop at Shinagawa.
This sounds good since I always prefer a transfer at Shinagawa whenever possible.

The original 0 series Shinkansen (doing Kodama services on the Sanyo Shinkansen) will be phased out by the end of the year, ride them while you can.
