Keihin-Tōhoku Line
(Redirected from Keihin Tohoku Line)
The Keihin-Tōhoku Line—Negishi Line (京浜東北線・根岸線, Keihin Tōhoku-sen—Negishi-sen?) is an 81 km railway line in Japan that connects the cities of Saitama, Warabi, Kawaguchi, Tokyo, Kawasaki, and Yokohama. Although it is a contiguous service, it is officially divided into 2 segments as follows:
- Keihin-Tōhoku Line (京浜東北線, Keihin Tōhoku-sen?) is the segment between Omiya and Yokohama stations. It runs along portions of the Tōhoku Main Line, and Tōkaidō Main Line. The name literally means "Tokyo-Yokohama and Tōhoku Line."
- Negishi Line (根岸線, Negishi-sen?) is the segment between Yokohama and Ōfuna stations.
However, because the service is contiguous, the entire service (including the "Negishi Line" portion) is often simply called the Keihin-Tōhoku Line for convenience. The Keihin-Tōhoku Line—Negishi Line trains are recognizable by their light blue stripe (the line's color on maps is also light blue).
Service
A northbound Keihin-Tōhoku line rapid train (209 series) bound for Minami-Urawa pauses at
Ueno StationTrains run every 2–3 minutes at peak hours, every 5 minutes during midday, and less frequently the rest of the time. In most instances, these trains are classified as futsu (local), stopping at all stations en-route. However, during middays they are classified as kaisoku (rapid). These rapid trains skip some stations in central Tokyo, where it runs parallel to the Yamanote Line.
Presently, Series 209 EMUs run on all Keihin-Tohoku Line services. From autumn 2007, the fleet will be replaced by new E233 Series 10-car EMUs.
