And of course a great many users of the Seibu Shinjuku line would still want to use Seibu Shinjuku station.Seibu Shinjuku is too far away from the Shinjuku CBD (twenty minutes walk) so most people transfer at Takatanobaba to the Yamanote line to get there. Even on the way home, people who don't care about getting a seat would not use Seibu Shinjku. Also, here's what's wrong at Nakano:  Track 7 & 8 Eastbound Chuo rapid (alternating tracks during morning rush) Track 6 Westbound Chuo rapid Track 5 Eastbound Chuo local or Tozai line coming from Mitaka Track 4 Tozai line turning at Nakano Track 3 Westbound Chuo local coming from Tozai line, also used for Tozai line turning at Nakano Track 2 Chuo local turning at Nakano Track 1 Westbound Chuo local coming from Shinjuku, also used for Chuo local turning at Nakano So you have two choices of platforms for all three directions of the Chuo local/Tozai line and you never get an across the platform transfer from a train that came from Mitaka to a train turning at Nakano. |
