Overview

edit

Trainsrun throughonto theTokyu Meguro LineforHiyoshiand the Saitama Railway'sSaitama Rapid Railway Line(which is essentially a separately-owned extension of the Namboku Line) forUrawa-Misono.

The right-of-way and stations betweenShirokane-Takanawaand Meguro are shared with theToei Mita Line– a unique situation on the Tokyo subway where both operators share common infrastructure. Under an agreement between Tokyo Metro and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the fare for this section is calculated on the Toei fare system for passengers traveling to stations on the Mita Line past Shirokane-Takanawa, on the Metro fare system for passengers traveling to stations on the Namboku Line past Shirokane-Takanawa, and on the system "most beneficial to the passenger" (presently the Metro schedule) for travel solely on the shared sector.

On maps, diagrams and signboards, the Namboku Line is shown using the color emerald (▉), and its stations are given numbers using the letter "N".

History

edit

The 21.3 km (13.2 mi) Namboku Line is one of Tokyo Metro's newer lines, featuring advanced technology including fullautomatic train operationandplatform screen doors.Although the line was originally proposed in 1968, construction did not begin until the 1980s, partly due to the right-of-way to Meguro with theToei Mita Line.The first segment fromKomagometoAkabane-Iwabuchiopened on 29 November 1991.

The line initially operated with four-car EMUs. Upon its extension toYotsuyain March 1996, the formations were extended to six cars. On 1 April 2022, eight-car trains began operating on the line.[2]

The extension toTameike-Sannōwas completed in September 1997, and the last stretch from Tameike-Sanno to Meguro was completed on 26 September 2000, when through service to theTokyu Meguro Linestarted.[3]Through service with theSaitama Rapid Railway Linecommenced when it opened in March 2001 and accommodated traffic to and fromSaitama Stadiumduring the2002 World Cup.Although the Saitama Line is more or less a northern extension of the Namboku Line, it nevertheless remains a private entity to which the Namboku Line offers through services with.

The Namboku Line was inherited byTokyo Metroafter the privatization of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA) in 2004.[4]

Effective the timetable revision on 18 March 2023, through services onto theSagami Railwaycommenced courtesy of theTokyuandSotetsu Shin-Yokohama Line.[5]Most southbound services past Hiyoshi continue as far south asShin-YokohamaandEbina.

Future plans

edit

On 28 January 2022,Tokyo Metroannounced that a 2.5 km (1.6 mi) spur line fromShirokane-takanawatoShinagawawould be built.[6]The extension is expected to cost¥131 billion (2021) (US$1.19 billion) and scheduled to begin revenue service in the mid-2030s. It is intended to increase connections to and from theChūō Shinkansen,which is scheduled to open for service in 2027.
