The Namboku line ( Japanese 南北 線 , Namboku-sen ) is an underground line of the Tōkyō Metro . The name of the route means south-north line , because it runs from Meguro station in the south via 17 intermediate stations to Akabane-Iwabuchi station in the north. The color of the Namboku line on cards is emerald green Namboku line. Your stations have the letter N followed by a number. The Namboku Line was planned as Line 7, so its official, rarely used name Line 7 is Namboku Line ( 7 号 線 南北 線 , 7-gōsen Namboku-sen ).

The trains of the Namboku line are operated from Meguro with the Meguro line of the Tōkyū and to Akabane-Iwabuchi with the Saitama Kōsoku Tetsudō together.

history

The 21.3 km long route is one of the newer from Tōkyō Metro, making it equipped with advanced technology. The train operation and the platform screen doors work fully automatically. Although the line was planned as early as 1968, construction did not begin until the 1980s, partly because of the Mita line . The first section from Komagome Station to Akabane-Iwabuchi Station was opened on November 29, 1991.

At the beginning, EMUs with four cars drove on the line . After the expansion to Yotsuya station in March 1996, the trains were expanded to six cars. All stations are able to accommodate trains with up to eight cars, but this length has not yet been used.

The extension to the Tameike-Sannō station was completed in September 1997 and the last extension from Tameike-Sannō to Meguro on September 26, 2000. The route and stations between Shirokane-Takanawa and Meguro are operated by the Tokyo Prefecture Transport Office with the Mita line ( Toei) shared. In the agreement most beneficial to the passenger ("cheapest for the passenger") between Tōkyō Metro and the Tokyo Prefecture , the fare for this section was set.

Through traffic to Saitama Kōsoku Tetsudō began when it opened in March 2001 and was available for travel to and from the Saitama Stadium during the 2002 World Cup . There are plans to expand this operation via the Noda line of the Tōbu Tetsudō to the Utsunomiya line .
