Higashi-Jūjō_Station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line

Hello,

 

Can anyone tell me what train services terminate at Higashi-Jūjō_Station?  Coming from north or south?  Better yet, access to a Keihin-Tohoku Line timetable would be good.

 

FWIW, I'm playing a game called Nimby Rails, where you model up a real or fantasy line and run trains on it.

 

Just wanting to understand how the "terminating services" mentioned on Wikipedia are operated.

Trains coming from the south, mainly because there's a stabling point there, which is an annoyingly neither-here-nor-there kind of place to terminate trains but apparently there's a lack of depot space [1].

I suppose it's conceivable there might be the occasional train terminating from the northerly direction (e.g. from a late evening service which terminated at Omiya), but I don't know the line well enough to say.

 

If it's any use, here's a timetable showing trains *starting* there (the times underlined in black, AFAICS all in the early morning):

That middle track also allows operational flexibility in case of schedule disruptions or modified timetable due to construction work somewhere downline.  May 22 scene of a terminating service, with a turnback, bound for Minami-Urawa (there was construction work going on at Hamamatsucho Station):
