Yamanote Line Platform Doors: Stations Scheduled to Complete Installation by FY2013
East Japan Railway Company
July 5, 2011
East Japan Railway Company (JR East) has been pursuing an initiative to introduce platform doors to the Yamanote Line to prevent passenger falls and contact with moving trains on platforms. Based on our verification at the two stations where doors were first installed (Ebisu and Meguro stations), we will start full-scale installation this fiscal year. This is to announce stations where installation is scheduled to be complete by FY2013.
