Ayase to Kita Ayase cab view

 

My favorite TV program, Sora kara nihon o mite miyo was broadcast tonight (not related to the YouTube piece above), and the subject was the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line route.  The program started from Kita Ayase, which is located on a branch off the main Chiyoda Line.  This branch is known as the haunt of the last remaining 5000 series (of Tozai Line fame), and are the oldest rolling stock in the Tokyo Metro fleet.

Well, since it doesn't have to exceed 15mph, some older rolling stock should be fine!  It really grinds through that first turn, looks pretty tight.  It's also interesting how those changed ownership, some going to the Toyo Rapid Railway in Chiba for about a decade and then to Indonesia, some going directly to Indonesia.
