E231 train as Shonan-Shinjuku Line train at 2nd track of Shinjuku Station

The Shonan-Shinjuku Line (湘南新宿ライン Shōnan Shinjuku Rain?) is a railway line in Japan that connects the cities of Saitama, Tokyo, Yokohama, Kamakura, and Odawara. It is not a distinct railway line, but rather a 78 km composite line formed by portions of the Takasaki Line, Utsunomiya Line, Saikyo Line, Yokosuka Line, and Tōkaidō Main Line.

[edit] Trains

Initially, services were operated using a mixture of rolling stock, including 115, series, 211 series, 215 series (double-deck), E217 series, and E231 series EMUs, but rolling stock was standardized on the E231 series EMUs in 2004, from which date these trains also included two bilevel Green cars.

The following types of services run on the Shonan-Shinjuku Line:

  • Local trains (普通 Futsū?)

Local trains go from the Utsunomiya Line through the Shonan-Shinjuku Line to the Yokosuka Line and vice versa, making all station stops.

  • Rapid trains (快速 Kaisoku?)
    • Takasaki Line rapid services run from the Takasaki Line through the Shonan-Shinjuku Line to the Tōkaidō Main Line and vice versa. These trains do not stop at Nishi-Oi, Shin Kawasaki, Hodogaya or Higashi-Totsuka stations.
    • Utsunomiya Line rapid services run from the Utsunomiya Line through the Shonan-Shinjuku Line to the Yokosuka Line and vice versa. Between Oyama and Omiya on the Utsunomiya Line, these trains only stop at Koga, Kuki and Hasuda stations. On the Shonan-Shinjuku and Yokosuka Lines, these trains make all station stops.
  • Special Rapid trains (特別快速 Tokubetsu Kaisoku?)

Special Rapid trains run from the Takasaki Line through the Shonan-Shinjuku Line to the Tōkaidō Main Line and vice versa, making limited station stops. On the Shonan-Shinjuku segment between Omiya and Ofuna, these trains do not stop at Ebisu, Nishi-Oi, Shin Kawasaki, Hodogaya or Higashi-Totsuka stations.

  • Ohayo Liner Shinjuku (おはようライナー新宿 Ohayō Rainā Shinjuku?) and Home Liner Odawara (ホームライナー小田原 Hōmu Rainā Odawara?)

These are special, all-reserved commuter express trains with comfortable seating. They operate from Odawara to Shinjuku on weekday mornings, and in reverse on weekday evenings. These trains normally do not stop between Shibuya and Fujisawa. Between Fujisawa and Odawara, varying stops are made. A reserved seat fee of ¥500 is required to use this service, in addition to the standard fare.
