The Keiō Line (京王線 Keiō sen?) is a railway line of the Keiō Electric Railway, however definition of the operator itself varies.
In the most formal and official sense, it is the 38 km long mainline of the operator that runs from Shinjuku, Tokyo, to the suburban city of Hachiōji.
The subject of this article, and the most often used, excludes the Keiō New Line. The New Line is officially the fourth and fifth tracks of Keiō Line's Shinjuku station. However, the route, stations, and the location at Shinjuku Station are different from the (conventional) Keiō Line Shinjuku Station.
The other usages are:
- Collective name referring to the lines with 1,372 mm gauge of the company. Together with the main line, Keiō New, Sagamihara, Keibajō, Dōbutsuen, Takao lines are included. In this sense, 1,067 mm gauged Inokashira Line is excluded.
- General name of all lines of the company including Inokashira Line, like "Seibu Line" for Seibu Railway, "Tokyū Line" for Tokyu Corporation and so on.
