Saitama Rapid Railway Line

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Saitama Rapid Railway or Saitama Kosokutetsudo (埼玉高速鉄道線) is the continuation of the Namboku Line, starting at Akabane-Iwabuchi station in Tokyo and ending at Saitama Misono Station in Saitama. It was completed on March 28, 2001.

The Saitama Rapid Railway line (including the Urawa Misono Station) was built in time for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, which held several of its matches at the Saitama Stadium.

In the future, the line may be extended to Hasuda Station.
