Nishi-Funabashi Station
Nishi-Funabashi Station (西船橋駅, Nishi-Funabashi-eki) is a railway station in Funabashi, Chiba, Japan, jointly operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East), Tokyo Metro, and the Tōyō Rapid Railway. It is the easternmost station of the Tokyo subway network, lying in Chiba Prefecture.
Nishi-Funabashi Station is served by the following lines.
The station consists of six island platforms serving eleven tracks on two levels (another two tracks are used by Sōbu Line (Rapid) trains which do not stop at the station). The high-level station serves the Keiyō and Musashino Lines. The low level is served by the Sōbu, Tōzai and Tōyō Rapid Railway Lines. The low level can be subdivided into two sections, one served by trains running into Tokyo via the Sōbu Line and the other by trains running into Tokyo via the Tōzai Line, since all the track connections between the two lines are east of the station.
Platforms 1 and 2 are for Sōbu Line trains for Funabashi, Tsudanuma and Chiba, and platforms 3 and 4 for trains for Kinshichō, Akihabara, Shinjuku, Nakano and Mitaka. Platforms 2 and 3 share the same track and are often used to terminate trains from Ochanomizu.
Within the Tokyo Metro section, platform 5 is the main platform for Tōyō services to Kita-Narashino and Tōyō-Katsutadai, while the few trains from the Tōzai Line to Funabashi and Tsudanuma can also leave from here. Platform 6 is mainly used for terminating Tōzai Line trains (to Toyocho, Nihombashi, Otemachi and Nakano), although it is used for through services in peak hours. Platform 7 is mainly used for Tōzai Line trains (mainly for reversing them), and platform 8 is exclusively for Tōzai Line trains.
The high-level station consists of platforms 9 to 12. Normally platforms 9 and 10 are used by Musashino Line trains (to Shim-Matsudo, Minami-Urawa and Fuchūhommachi), platform 11 is used by trains to Tokyo (via Maihama and Shin-Kiba) and platform 12 by trains to Minami-Funabashi, Shin-Narashino and Kaihimmakuhari.
The station opened on the Sobu Line on November 10, 1958, initially serving passengers only. It moved into a new station building on December 15, 1968, when the line was quadrupled.
The Eidan Tozai Line arrived here on March 29, 1969, and through service between the two lines commenced. Freight services commenced on April 8.
