Editing Hayate (train) (section)

=== Introduction ===
In December 2002, the Tohoku Shinkansen extended to [[Hachinohe Station|Hachinohe]]. As a result, the ''Hayate'' was introduced, in order to serve the newly extended section between [[Morioka Station|Morioka]] and Hachinohe. ''Hayate'' trains ran between Tokyo and Hachinohe, and skips all stations between [[Ōmiya Station (Saitama)|Ōmiya]] and [[Sendai Station (Miyagi)|Sendai]]. The ''Hayate'' was established as the fastest service on the Tohoku Shinkansen at that time, which also established its position as the predecessor of the ''[[Hayabusa (train)|Hayabusa]]''. All seats in ''Hayate'' trains require reservation, due to the popularity of Shinkansen services from Tokyo to the [[Tohoku region]]. ''Hayate'' trains were operated by 10-car [[E2 series]] units, which ran at a top speed of 275&nbsp;km/h.
