Today, I am suggesting the Tokyo Metro for TSW 2. The information about this route is in the video. Sorry, it isn’t written out like usual, but it is extremely complex, that I think it would be easier to just consume the video version. What are your thoughts on this suggestion?
Tokyo's Metros will be difficult because of the amount of through running - so you can include Tokyo Metro's stock, but what about the JR East from the Chuo and Sobu lines, and the Private Rapid Railway that I've forgotten the name of at the Eastern end. All the trains run through to some extent with crews changing at the boundary station.
The Chuo Sobu Lines and the Toyo Rapid Railway use the same rolling stock that runs on the Tozai Line.
Excellent idea but you might need to consider through running. Track Gauge is 1.067m somewhat compatible with Arosa Line 1m track gauge.
Yes but you are then dealing with 3 companies for licencing rather then one which makes things a bit trickier. And the E231s on the Tozai line though running are very different to those on the Chuo-Sobu line - as they are built to Metro standards rather than Mainline Mind you one line has 6 company's trains running on it.
To illustrate what I mean. Tozai E231 - built to Metro standards with narrow body shells and front exits. Chuo-Sobu E231 (ex Yamanote) Wide bodied mainline train.
