Chūō-Sōbu Line
The Chūō-Sōbu Line (中央・総武緩行線, Chūō-Sōbu-kankō-sen?) is a railway line located in Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Part of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network, it runs on separate tracks along the right-of-way of the Chūō Main Line (Chūō Line (Rapid)) and Sōbu Main Line (Sōbu Line (Rapid)), providing service between Mitaka Station in the cities of Mitaka and Musashino and Chiba Station in Chiba.
The term Kankō (緩行, lit. "slow run"?) distinguishes local trains on the Chūō-Sōbu line from rapid service trains running on the Chūō Main Line between Mitaka and Ochanomizu and on the Sōbu Main Line between Kinshichō and Chiba.
History
Women-only cars, designed to prevent chikan, were introduced on this line during morning peak periods starting on November 20, 2006.
Station list
- Except for certain limited express and seasonal trains, all local service trains stop at every station.
