Trains and destinations
|}
Narita Express trains serve various stations in the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area. Trains are formed of dedicated
E259 series 6-car EMU sets, with all trains passing through
Tokyo Station, where services are coupled or uncoupled. Usually, a train from Ōfuna or Yokohama will be coupled with a train from Shinjuku, Ikebukuro or Ōmiya to form one train set for the remainder of the journey to Narita Airport (via the
Sōbu Main Line and
Narita Line). On the return journey, the reverse is true.
The majority of
Narita Express services do not stop between Tokyo and
Airport Terminal 2 Station. In the morning and evening rush hours, however, the Narita Express serves as a commuter express, stopping at
Chiba,
Yotsukaidō and
Narita. The average time between Tokyo and Narita Airport is between 55 minutes and an hour.
All seats are reserved, with both Standard and Green (first class) accommodation available.
