Why this phrase
Did you catch that? JR's in-between word. 「運休」 means cancelled. 「遅れ」 means late. 「見合わせ」 means they have paused and are waiting: wind, a person on the tracks, a signal. The board often still lists the train, so tourists stand for hours. Train the ear on 「運転を見合わせております」. You do not need to say this line. You need to catch 「見合わせ」. ACCURACY GUARD: 見合わせ is a pause, not a cancellation. The train may resume. Listen for 「運転を再開いたします」 before you walk away. Do not tell people to immediately give up. Catalog already has 計画運休 and 遅れ; this is the word in the gap. TONE GUARD: dry and useful, not scolding.
