Lines

Nishi-Funabashi Station is served by the following lines.

Station layout

The station consists of six island platforms serving eleven tracks on two levels (another two tracks are used by Sōbu Line (Rapid) trains which do not stop at the station). The high-level station serves the Keiyō and Musashino Lines. The low level is served by the Sōbu, Tōzai and Tōyō Rapid Railway Lines. The low level can be subdivided into two sections, one served by trains running into Tokyo via the Sōbu Line and the other by trains running into Tokyo via the Tōzai Line, since all the track connections between the two lines are east of the station.

Platforms 1 and 2 are for Sōbu Line trains for Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN, and platforms 3 and 4 for trains for Template:STN, Template:STN, Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN. Platforms 2 and 3 share the same track and are often used to terminate trains from Template:STN.

Within the Tokyo Metro section, platform 5 is the main platform for Tōyō services to Template:STN and Template:STN, while the few trains from the Tōzai Line to Funabashi and Tsudanuma can also leave from here. Platform 6 is mainly used for terminating Tōzai Line trains (to Template:STN, Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN), although it is used for through services in peak hours. Platform 7 is mainly used for Tōzai Line trains (mainly for reversing them), and platform 8 is exclusively for Tōzai Line trains.

The high-level station consists of platforms 9 to 12. Normally platforms 9 and 10 are used by Musashino Line trains (to Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN), platform 11 is used by trains to Tokyo (via Template:STN and Template:STN) and platform 12 by trains to Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN.
