After any noticeable earthquake the railways pause for track inspection. SHINDO reads the operators' own status feeds, translates the notices and tells you before you walk into a closed station.
JR East publishes its Kanto-area line status on its own site; Tokyo Metro and Toei publish theirs through the Public Transportation Open Data Center. SHINDO reads both, shows them on one screen with the operator's wording in Japanese and a translation, and refreshes every few minutes.
Choose the lines you commute on and SHINDO pushes a notification when one of them is suspended or delayed — and again when service resumes. Nothing about lines you never ride.
On the earthquake detail screen the transit panel shows which lines paused for inspection after that event, so a shindo 4 in Chiba and a stopped Sobu Line make sense together.

It is read from the operators' own publications. Delays in their updates are passed through; always check the station boards before boarding.
An early version counted '本日の運転は終了しました' (service ended for the day) as a disruption. Fixed in October 2026 — last trains are now shown as such.
