An accident on the Yamanote Line

On the 16th of this month, the services of JR Yamanote Line was suspended for about eight hours due to a power outage. This was a very big probrem. Yamanote Line connects several stations with very hign numbers of passengers like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo. Shinjuku is the busiest station in Japan. It is registered in the Guiness World Records as "the busiest railway station". Also, many railway lines in Tokyo metropolitan area operate througn services with other lines, so this accidents affects more than ten lines. I think Japanese trains runs very puntuctually and safely, but because of poluration concentration, the impact of a single accident is extremely big. According to reports, the accident affected about 670,000 people. It is also reportes that this suspendation casued extreme congestion on platforms of several stations, causing a situation that posed a serious risk to life. If you're curious, look at the picture in this article.

今月16日、JR山手線は停電により約8時間にわたり運行を停止した。これは非常に大きな問題であった。山手線は新宿、渋谷、池袋、東京など乗客数が極めて多い複数の駅を結んでいる。新宿駅は日本で最も利用客の多い駅であり、「世界で最も利用客の多い鉄道駅」としてギネス世界記録に登録されている。また、首都圏の多くの鉄道路線は他路線との直通運転を行っているため、今回の事故は10路線以上に影響を及ぼした。日本の列車は非常に正確かつ安全に運行されていると思うが、路線の集中度が高いため、単一の事故の影響が極めて大きい。報道によれば、この事故は約67万人に影響を与えた。また、複数の駅のホームで深刻な混雑が発生し、生命に危険を及ぼす状況が生じたとも報じられている。興味があれば、この記事の写真を見てほしい。

Oh wow, that's pretty severe. Two years ago, I came to Tokyo during Easters. When I reached the Yamanote line from the Narita Airport, there was also suspension of service. I don't really know how to use other form of transportation, so I couldn't get to the hotel until at least an hour after. So I understand how important that line is! How you didn't get caught in between yourself.

Thank you for your corrections!
There are so many train lines in central Tokyo that even if one line stops, you might be able to reach your destination by transferring to a different line. For example, if you’re going from Tokyo Station to Asakusa, there are several possible routes — you can use only the subway, switch between subway and rail lines, or take only rail lines. It’s very convenient, but people who aren’t familiar with the system may find it confusing.
I don’t live in the Tokyo metropolitan area, so I wasn’t affected by this incident, but trains in my region are often disrupted by heavy snow.

Thank you very much for your corrections! Yes, "poluration" was my spelling mistake! I meant "population".

"Services" is plural, so the plural "were" is used.

(1) "Trains" is plural, so the plural "run" is used.
(2) I'm not sure what you meant by "poluration concentration" ("poluration" isn't a word). Looking at the native text, I think "high concentration of routes" is a good translation for 高い路線の集中度.

According to reports, the accident affected about 670,000 people.

"The platforms" is more natural here, because you have specified the location of said platforms.

Thank you very much! "poluration" was my spelling mistake. I meant "population concentration". Is "high/heavy passenger traffic" also natural?

Yes, "high / heavy passenger traffic" is also natural. "Passenger traffic" is a proper term we use. Conversely, "population concentration" is a little ambiguous and can leave the reader unsure about what you meant.
