Toei Shinjuku Line
From JNSwiki
The Toei Shinjuku Line (新宿線 Shinjuku-sen) is a subway line of the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation ("Toei") network in Tokyo, Japan. The line lies east-westerly between Motoyawata Station in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture in the east and Shinjuku Station in Shinjuku in the west. At Shinjuku, most trains continue to Sasazuka Station in Shibuya on the Keiō New Line of Keiō Corporation, with some services continuing to Hashimoto Station in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture via the Keiō and Sagamihara lines of Keiō.
The line was built with a track gauge of 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) to allow through operations to the Keiō network. The line was planned as Line 10 in reports of a committee of the then Ministry of Transportation, thus the rarely used proper name (as per the Ministry[1]) is Number 10 Shinjuku Line (10号線新宿線 10gō-sen Shinjuku-sen).
On maps and signboards, the line is shown in colour yellow-green O. Stations carry the letter S and a two-digit number. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, as of June 2009 the Shinjuku Line was the third most crowded subway line in Tokyo, at its peak running at 181% capacity between Nishi-Ōjima and Sumiyoshi stations.[2]
