Odakyu Electric Railway to advance the last train time next spring Up to about 20 minutes on all routes November 4, 13:41
Odakyu Electric Railway, a major private railway company running in the Tokyo metropolitan area, decided to advance the last train time by up to 20 minutes next spring because the number of late-night passengers is decreasing due to the influence of the new coronavirus. ..
According to Odakyu Electric Railway, the time of the last train will be advanced by up to 20 minutes on all three lines, the Odawara Line, the Tama Line, and the Enoshima Line, in line with the timetable revision next spring.
The last train on weekdays is
about 20 minutes earlier than the current 11:42 pm when going from Shinjuku to Odawara on the Odawara Line.
▽ When going from Shinjuku to Karakida on the Tama Line, the current 0:38 am will be about 20 minutes earlier.
▽ On the Enoshima Line, if you go from Katase-Enoshima to Seijo Gakuen-mae, the current 11:53 pm will be about 20 minutes earlier.
In addition, the first train on all three routes will be delayed by 5 to 15 minutes on some sections.
The reason for moving the last train forward is that the number of late-night passengers has decreased to nearly half of last year due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and the working environment for workers who maintain and inspect the tracks after the last train is improved. I am mentioning that.
For railways in the Tokyo metropolitan area, JR East will advance the time of the last train by up to 37 minutes on 17 lines next spring, and private railway companies are also considering moving it forward.
