User:Kazatsu/Urban Park Liner

The Urban Park Liner is a limited express train operated by Tobu Railway between Asakusa Station and Ōmiya Station, and Kashiwa Station on the Isesaki Line and Noda Line.

This section also describes the Skytree Liner, which operates between Asakusa Station and Kasukabe Station and has a common fare system. In some guides, the “Urban Park Liner” and the “Sky Tree Liner” are collectively referred to as the “Express Liners.”

Overview
On October 27, 2016, Tobu Railway announced that the series 500 train would be nicknamed “Revaty”. At the same time, the operation mode of the series 500 train and the plan for the “Urban Park Liner” to enter the Noda Line (Tobu Urban Park Line) were also announced [2]. It became the first regular paid train on the Noda Line, and the first regular train to directly connect to the Isesaki Line (Tobu Skytree Line).

On January 18, 2017, it was announced that the service would start from the timetable revision on April 21 of the same year, along with the operating schedule, stops, and limited express fares [3].

However, due to the convenience of the fare system and the shortening of the route, there also existed the Kirifuri and Kegon trains, also departing from and arriving at Kasukabe Station.
