Odakyu 70000 Series GSE - Shinjuku to Hakone-Yumoto
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
It seems like there are not so many types of trains that really allow for good zenmen tenbou video. A few exceptions are those on express services between Tokyo and the greater Izu peninsula area, such as the JR East 251 and various Odakyu limited express types. Our videographer, HKASAMA, rides the newest of the latter, the 70000 series, for the video below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odakyu_70000_series_GSE https://www.youtube.com/user/HKASAMA/videos- 1 reply

Shinjuku, World's Busiest Train Station
bill937ca posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
A very interesting documentary on Shinjuku Station. It focuses on the station staff, starts with an automatic alarm bed, and discusses crowd control, suicides,terrorists, earthquakes, typhoons, the obsession with punctuality and how it caused the 2005 train wreck, drunks, the five rushes each day including the last train of the day. And a stand that serves a bowl of noodles every five seconds. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x12ww8o_worlds-busiest-train-station-shinjuku-full_travel?start=3 -
New rolling stock for Toei Shinjuku Line that looks like E233-2000
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
Subways are not my area of interest, but I saw this and thought it was simply a re-styled JR East E233-2000, which were built for through-service on the Metro Chiyoda Line from the Joban Line. Both of these are products of Tokyu/J-Trec, but I haven't read anything that confirms that the designs are related. The article says says it's a 10-300 type with minor changes. Really?
