    first of all, do you know about Yokohama Municipal Subway? The only people who have heard of it must either live along this line or are Japanese subway geeks.
    Although it is not a very famous line, I wanted to make a start as TSW first subway in Japan, so please read this post until the end.

    This subway runs in Kanagawa Prefecture and has 32 stations, a line distance of 40.4 km, and a gauge of 1,435 mm (standard gauge).
    The security devices are ATC , ATO.
    The maximum speed of the route is 80 km/h.

    Azamino, which is popular as a Tokyo residential area, Center Kita and Center Minami stations, where Kohoku New Town is located, Shin-Yokohama station, which is also a stop on the Tokaido Shinkansen line, Yokohama station, which ranks 4th in terms of daily passengers, Kannai station, the closest station to Yokohama Stadium, and Kamioooka station, where Keikyu Department Store is located, are located.

    I am thinking of Azamino station to Yokohama station. (See image).

    It will take about 30 minutes to complete the journey.

    There are two types of cars, 3000 and 4000.

    One-man operation began in 2007, and platform doors were installed at all stations.
    (If they are added, it will be TSW first platform door.)

    The Blue Line has both rapid and local trains, with local trains stopping at all stations and rapid trains passing through a few stations.

    And here are two scenarios we are considering.

    Stop at every station
    Let's operate a local train during the daytime on weekdays and carry passengers safely to Yokohama.

    Commuter Rush.
    Let's operate a rapid train with 120% occupancy at Yokohama station at 7:00 a.m. and take passengers to Azamino station.

    That's all for now.
