Are any of you in any way influenced by this new train?
Is it gonna make things any easier for you guys?
I took a ride yesterday and it was pretty cool I thought,
only if I were a bit closer to the station it'd be a lot better.

Sorry this is off-topic, I just wanted to see what you guys
thought of it.

Im 10 mins from the Moriya station, and I havent taken it yet, but Im sure it is going to be great.

The only complaint i have is that it has become a hub for the rush hour crowd and i almost get stampeded taking the Jo So line........and they have cut the Jo So morning commute cars down from 4 to 2.......it is like sardines in there now and I have no chance of a seat..

I actually have to take the Joso line to get to Moriya, in order to hop onto TX. I've never been on a train that slow, small, and old.

Not to mention EXPENSIVE.

I call it the Jo SLOW line.

I am really cheesed off that they have cut the number of cars in half going toward Toride in the morning as i have to commute on it.

7 stops to Toride from Moriya and they want 370 yen!

Shocked

I sometimes take Joso on Saturdays to get to Inatoi in Toride. Me and my buddies call it the Slow Joe line, too.

稲戸井-inatoi. We also call it 田舎問い-inakatoi, or waaaay out in the boondocks.
