Trains that were express trains on private railways become local trains when they enter the Tokyo Metro.
Have you ever thought, "It would be so convenient if there were express trains on the subway too?"
There are reasons unique to subways why lines like the Hanzomon Line, Chiyoda Line, Ginza Line, and Marunouchi Line are primarily local trains.
This time, we'll explain the system, from the passing tracks needed for overtaking, to the short distances between stations, the dense schedule, and measures to combat congestion. We'll also introduce the reasons why rapid trains can run on the Tozai Line and express trains on the Fukutoshin Line, and the differences between them and the Romancecar and TH Liner.
Furthermore, we'll consider whether "running express trains would make things more convenient," touching on examples from the Toei Shinjuku Line and Kobe, and the desire for rapid trains on the Yurakucho Line.
Which subway lines would you like to see express or rapid trains on?
