That shot of Ochanomizu station is fantastic, really had me stumped for a while. Been working away on that for quite some time, haven't they!

 

Yeah, one of those long-term projects for barrier-free access, earthquake-proofing and complicated part-way through by the need to lengthen the Chuo Line platforms, all in a typically constricted site.

 

Talking of which:

Meanwhile exciting times at Shinjuku, where this E231-800 series was transiting through the Chuo Line platforms, presumably bound for Mitaka:

And just after I took those I saw what I think was a Boso Line 209 series heading in along the Yamanote Freight line (similar movement to this one I presume), but it has gone before I could take a photo.
