We hope you are all enjoying the Nambu Line, Nambu Branch Line, and Tsurumi Line DLC and updates that were released on Tuesday, November 28.
We have received the following comments about the Nambu Line, Nambu Branch Line, and Tsurumi Line DLC.
"The sound of the brake system of the E233 Series 8000 on the Nambu Line is pleasant!"
"Busy with line maintenance workers and sounding the whistle when passing oncoming trains at railroad crossings, this DLC has the fun of driving while paying attention to everything on the screen."
"The Nambu branch line is a favorite for those who like high acceleration!"
We are encouraged by all of these positive comments and your candid reviews.
Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.

The "car with the black motorman's cab and doors on the front" represented the E217 series.
[h4]So, the next DLC will be Sobu Line (Rapid)"![/h4]
- Route: Sobu Line (Rapid)
- Section: Outbound Tokyo ⇒ Narita Airport Terminal 1 (79.2km)
- Model: Series E217 (15-car train)
- Release date: Scheduled for Tuesday, December 19, 2023
- International sales price: US$34.99
The Sobu Rapid Line is a 79.2 km long line running east-west between Tokyo Station in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward and Chiba Station in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture.
The line also operates a direct connection with the Yokosuka Line between Tokyo Station and Kurihama Station in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Tokyo Station in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
The Sobu Line (Rapid) operates at high speed, stopping only at a limited number of stations, because the Chuo･Sobu Line (Local) run side by side from Kinshicho Station to Chiba Station, which has a large number of stations.
The Sobu Line (Rapid) is also used as an access line between central Tokyo and Narita Airport, an international airport. The Narita Express, a limited express train bound for Narita Airport, runs on the Sobu Line (Rapid), and the Shiosai, a limited express train bound for Choshi, also runs on this line.
Trains bound for Narita Airport depart from Chiba Station via the Sobu Main Line and enter the Narita Line at Sakura Station. The Narita Line connects Sakura Station in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, and Matsugishi Station in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, via Narita Station. The Narita Line also has branch lines, one connecting Abiko Station in Abiko City, Chiba Prefecture, to Narita Station (commonly known as the Abiko Branch Line) and another connecting Narita Station to Narita Airport (commonly known as the Airport Branch Line).
The Sobu Line (Rapid) DLC can operate the section of the Narita Line from Sakura Station to Narita Airport Terminal 1 Station via Narita Station.
Starting underground in central Tokyo, the line runs at high speed through the suburbs of Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture, and beyond Chiba Station, the line runs through a landscape with a lot of greenery. We hope you will enjoy driving to Narita Airport while feeling the changes in the scenery.
We are working hard on the production so that we can inform you of the production status as soon as possible. Please look forward to further updates!
