Illustrated Cross-Sections of Major Train Stations in Tokyo
- mc32 10y agoThree quarters of a million people going through Shinjuku, 200 exits. That's an amazing feat of urban planning... Great renderings. Some of the passages have quite low ceilings, a testament to its age and usefulness --it's not like they have the space to redesign them. Lots of people zooming by each other. Busy to get to work and then, tired and just wanting to get home.
- getoj 10y agoNote that these are from 2005, and both the stations pictured have had quite major renovations since then - Shinjuku has a big new southern annex that would be in the bottom right of this picture, and Shibuya had a platform ripped out of the SE side and moved underground.
- jpatokal 10y agoSeveral platforms: they basically ripped out the terminus of the Tokyu Toyoko line and moved it underground to connect to a newly built subway line, with the actual changeover carried out overnight in 4 hours between the last and first trains. An astonishing piece of engineering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s__ysTCD1wo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s__ysTCD1wo
