    Narita Airport Line
    [​IMG]

    The Keisei Narita Airport Line is a Japanese railway line connecting Keisei-Takasago Station and Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station. The entire route from Keisei Ueno Station, including the Keisei Main Line as far as Keisei-Takasago, is branded Narita Sky Access. The line length is 51.4 km (31.9 mi). The Keisei Electric Railway operates over the entire line, while other companies operate over certain sections of it, such as Hokuso Railway. The new line is used by Skyliner limited express services operating at up to 160 km/h using Keisei AE series EMUs.

    The Keisei Main Line is a railway line of Japanese private railway company Keisei Electric Railway connecting Tokyo and Narita, Japan. It is the main line of Keisei's railway network. Built as an interurban between Tokyo and Narita in early 20th century, the line has served as a main access route to Narita International Airport since 1978. It also serves major cities along the line such as Funabashi, Narashino, and Sakura. In 2010, the Narita Sky Access opened as a bypass of the line, reducing the role of the main line in the airport access. The line length is 67.2km (41.8 mi)

    The 2 line lengths added up together total 118.6 (73.6 mi) but there is some overlap between the 2.

    Added to the Japanese master list. Some pretty unique-looking rolling stock there.

    Excellent idea and you now have another route In addition to BML UK Gatwick. Followed by Japanese suggestions Kansai Airport Haruka and my own Nagoya Chubu Airport Tonkoname Line. This route uses 1.435m Track Gauge instead of 1.067m Nagoya and Kansai Airport routes.

    The 3100 series is one of my favourites among modern Japanese EMUs. We have a lot of suggestions that feature classics ranging from the 103 to the 209/231 and others, but only a few route proposals with new designs like the 3100. Maybe the fact that this is a non-JR route would make the prospect of recreating the line and the rolling stock more realistic, as licencing from smaller companies could be less complicated.

    Good point and for DTG they should be able to do this differently because if allowed to travel from United Kingdom to Japan they would arrive right on top of the Keisei train station itself from a British Airways Heathrow Airport to Tokyo Narita Route.
