Experience the Semi-Private Feel for 1,200 Yen—Is There Already a Battle for the Newly Introduced “P Seats” on the Tokaido Shinkansen?
Tobu Railway will gradually begin operating 5-car trains on the Tobu Urban Park Line (Noda Line) starting from March 8.
On this line, the introduction of the new 80000 series trains was announced. Simultaneously, the currently operated 6-car 60000 series trains will be reduced to 5 cars. The 80000 series trains are designed with a focus on families with children, offering the “Tanoshii Seat” for a comfortable family experience.
The weak air-conditioned car is set as the third car (Car 3) from the Kashiwa direction, and the women-only car, introduced during weekday mornings, is set as the closest car to Kashiwa (Car 5). The stopping positions vary depending on the station and platform.
