The Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., formally known as the Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., is a Script error: No such module "convert". long railway line in Saitama and Chiba Prefectures operated by the Japanese private railway company Tobu Railway. It connects the satellite cities of Tokyo, such as Saitama, Kasukabe, Noda, Nagareyama, Matsudo, Kamagaya, Kashiwa, and Funabashi.[1]

Operation

All trains were initially operated as all-stations "Local" services. Most trains, excluding a few from/to train depots, originate or terminate at Kashiwa Station which has a switchback. During the daytime, six trains run per hour.

From 26 March 2016, limited-stop "Express" services were introduced on the line. During the daytime off-peak, these run at 30-minute intervals, stopping only at Template:STN between Template:STN and Template:STN, and all-stations between Kasukabe and Template:STN. The journey time between Omiya and Kasukabe is reduced by 6 minutes compared with all-stations "Local" services.[2]

Rolling stock

Trains are formed of 6-car (or 4+2-car) 8000 series EMUs, introduced from 1997. New 6-car 60000 series EMUs were introduced on the line from 15 June 2013, replacing the older 8000 series sets.[5][6] Eight sets are scheduled to be delivered by the end of fiscal 2013.[7]

From 3 March 2012, test running using 10030 series EMUs commenced on the line,[8] with the first reliveried set entering revenue service from 20 April 2013.[9]

From 21 April 2017, new Tobu 500 series three-car EMUs operate on Urban Park Liner limited express services on the line. Services operate between Template:STN in Tokyo (Tobu Skytree Line) and Template:STN and Template:STN on the Tobu Urban Park Line, with trains dividing and joining at Template:STN. The 500 series trains are also used on Urban Park Liner services operating between Omiya and Template:STN on the Tobu Urban Park Line.[10]

Tobu Railway announced on 16 April 2024 that 25 80000 series 5-car sets would be introduced on the line, replacing all remaining 8000 and 10000 series trains in service on the Urban Park Line. In addition, the 18 60000 series sets are expected to be shortened to 5 cars per trainset with one surplus car from each set slated to be modified and incorporated into 18 of the 80000 series sets.[11][12]

History

File:Chiba Prefectural Railways Noda Line.JPG
The Chiba Prefectural Railway Noda Line

The line first opened as the Script error: No such module "Nihongo". on 9 May 1911, from Kashiwa to Nodamachi (now Nodashi), a distance of 14.7 kilometres (9 miles 10 chains) using steam haulage.[1] In 1923, the line was privatized and the operator was named Script error: No such module "Nihongo". (separate from the present Hokusō Railway), and also opened its own line from Funabashi Station to Kashiwa Station, a distance of 19.6 km (12 mi 14 ch).

The company gradually extended the line to Ōmiya, and changed its name in 1929 to Script error: No such module "Nihongo". (not to be confused with the present Sōbu Main Line). The line was completed in 1930 with the completion of the bridge over the Edo River.

On 1 March 1944, the company merged with the Tobu Railway, and the line became the Tobu Noda Line.[3] 6-car trains were introduced from November 1972.[1]

Electrification was commenced in 1929 between Kasukabe and Ōmiya,[1] and while the section from Kashiwa to Funabashi was still unelectrified when the operation of the line was taken over by Tobu in 1944, the remaining section was electrified by 1 March 1947.[3]

The Omiya to Kasukabe section was double-tracked between 1957 and 2011, the Nodashi to Umesato section in 2011, the Unga to Sakasai section between 1960 and 1991, and the Mutsumi to Funabashi section between 1964 and 1999.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Six-car 8000 series EMUs were phased in from 1997, displaced by new 30000 series EMUs introduced on the Tobu Isesaki Line.[14] The last remaining 5070 series EMUs were withdrawn from the start of the revised timetable on 19 October 2004, and the line's maximum speed was raised from 90 km/h to 100 km/h at the same time.[14]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tobu lines, with Noda Line stations receiving numbers prefixed with the letters "TD".[15]

From 1 April 2014, the line was rebranded the Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..[7]
