TX’s Forthcoming plan

becoming the train of eight cars

 
















Tsukuba express appearanted to carried out  extension construction of home in all stations for becoming the train of eight cars.
It started construction in June, 2011 sequentially and served as congestion reducing and at first completed extension construction of Minami-Nagareyama Station.
And It change the stop position that utilized an extension part from September, 2012 and plan dispersion of the congestion.



The extension plan

The extension plan was a plan to start from Tokyo Station at first. And Ibaraki and throughout the prefecture city area strongly request realization that is the plan of extending from Akihabara to Tokyo.
However, it does not lead to official decision at present.
Supporting this home of Akihabara Station is in the depth of 34m below ground, it means.
When the extension to the Tokyo area was realized, this is because a base of Akihabara Washington Hotel avoids interfering the line of TX.

When it extends, the track is connected directly with Marunouchi Building basement the direction of Marunouchi.
There is the design to attach great importance to connection with JR Keiyo Line, but the station setting spot at the time of the extension is undecided at present.
The expense that it costs for extension is estimated to be 110 billion yen.
However, it is thought that it is rare as for the problem on the expense side because an expense is left without the use being decided now.

In the south side of Akihabara Washington Hotel, there is the Kanda River. 
In addition, Tokyo subway Hibiya Line goes in the subjacency, and Toei Shinjuku Line passes through the bottom more. 
So, for the Tokyo extension, the track must build hereunder.
Therefore, the Tokyo extension is considered for using depth basements more than depth 50m. 

For the extension to the Tokyo area, it is made it a condition that the number of the mean passengers of the TX in a diary is more than 270,000.And those numbers in 2009 exceeded 270,000 people, it is predicted that the extension plan accelerates in the future.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport examined a place and the expense of Tokyo Station, and according to the information of the newspaper, the Marunouchi street is convincing.

As a demand of citizens of Ibaraki , it pursue extension to from Tsukuba to Tsuchiura and Hyakuri-Base (Ibaraki Airport), and besides to Mito.

However, this does not realize.
According to the answer to demand to Mito Station extension written in the website of Ibaraki, "This plan is a common enterprise of three prefectures of 1 capital and cannot do it only in our prefecture".

Thus, about this plan, it seems that Ibaraki takes a negative attitude.
