  • At the western section (Mitaka – Ochanomizu),Chūō Line (Rapid)trains ran through the Chūō-Sōbu Line tracks betweenNakanoandOchanomizu,with services serving betweenTokyoand as far asTakao,or evenŌme,which stops at all stations.
  • At the eastern section (Ochanomizu – Chiba), local trains operated and terminated at the two ends of the section.
