Visitors stranded at Osaka Expo overnight after subway suspension

Tokyo, Aug 14 (UNI) The only subway line serving the venue of the 2025 World Expo in Osaka was suspended late Wednesday due to a power outage, stranding many visitors inside the venue well into the night and causing the opening to be delayed the following day.
The Osaka Metro Chuo Line, which is the only train service providing direct access from the city centre to the expo venue, was halted at around 9:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday, 30 minutes before the expo usually closes, leaving large crowds unable to return home.
About 30,000 people were inside the venue as of 9:30 p.m. local time on Wednesday, according to expo organisers. Shortly before midnight, access to Yumeshima Station, the nearest stop to the expo venue, was restored, but many visitors remained stuck.
