Tobu Railway will revise its timetable for routes including the TOBU SKYTREE Line, Isesaki Line, Nikko Line and TOBU URBAN PARK Line on April 21, 2017 (Fri). Together with Nikko Line 'Spacia' and Isesaki Line 'Ryomo,' 'Revaty' will start operations as a new limited express train launched for the first time in 26 years. With greater convenience provided by limited express trains, customers can ride on trains for a wide array of purposes, including sightseeing and commuting.
Seasonal limited express train operations (for peak and off-periods) to Nikko and Kinugawa will be discontinued. The new timetables for weekdays and weekend/holidays will make operations easier to understand for our customers.
Stops at Itakura Toyodai-mae station only taken by 'Kegon 1' (departing Asakusa at 7:30am, arriving Itakura Toyodai-mae at 8:26am) in the current timetable will be made earlier, and an outbound limited express train will stop in the evening. This will make travel easier for customers playing at nearby golf courses.
Revaty Kegon 1 (departs Asakusa at 6:30am, arrives Itakura Toyodai-mae at 7:26am)
*Arrival at Itakura Toyodai-mae made 1 hour earlier compared to the current timetable
Kegon 36 (departs Itakura Toyoda-mae at 4:19pm, arrives Asakusa at 5:15pm)
*New train stopping
Some limited express trains pass Kuki station in the current timetable, but will all stop at Kuki after the timetable revision to improve convenience for customers commuting from the line to central Tokyo.
Some limited express trains pass TOKYO SKYTREE station in the current timetable, but will all stop at TOKYO SKYTREE after the timetable revision for better access to Tokyo Skytree Town that will mark its 5th anniversary.
Direct trains from Tobu Nikko to Shimo-imaichi and Kinugawa-onsen will be increased by two to 3 trains per day, and direct trains from Kinugawa-onsen to Shimo-imaichi and Tobu Nikko will be increased by six to 7 trains per day.
Travelling around the Nikko area will be made easier.
