Tōbu Daishi Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tōbu Daishi Line (東武大師線 Tōbu Daishi-sen?) is a 1.0 km train line, owned and operated by Tōbu Railway. It runs only in Adachi, Tokyo, Japan, from Nishiarai Station to Daishimae Station.
This line forms part of the proposed Tōbu Nishi-Ita Line (東武西板線 Tōbu nishi-ita-sen?) which was never completed. The Tōbu Nishi-Ita line was intended to link the Tōbu Isesaki Line and Tōbu Tōjō Main Line to allow efficient transfer of rolling stock, and improve the service for residents along the line.
