The Tōyō Rapid Railway Line (東葉高速線 Tōyō Kōsoku-sen?) is a commuter rail line owned by Tōyō Rapid Railway Co., Ltd., which runs between Nishi-Funabashi Station in Funabashi, Chiba and Tōyō-Katsutadai Station in Yachiyo, Chiba. The name Tōyō (東葉?) comes from the characters for Tokyo and Chiba. The line is essentially an extension of Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line.[1]

History

Construction work on the line commenced in July 1984, and the line was fully opened on 27 April 1996.[1] Limited-stop "Toyo Rapid" (東葉快速 Tōyō Kaisoku?) services were introduced on the line from the start of the 4 December 1999 timetable revision, but such services in the "up" direction (toward Tokyo) were discontinued in 2009, and the "down" limited-stop services were discontinued from the start of the revised timetable on 15 March 2014.[2]
