Thank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator!
We hope you're enjoying the “Shōnan-Shinjuku Line” DLC, which began streaming on Friday, September 26th!
We are heartened by the many positive comments such as “It's great that direct service is available across three lines: the Utsunomiya Line, Shōnan-Shinjuku Line, and Yokosuka Line.” and “It's fun seeing so many trains passing by.” as well as everyone's candid reviews. Thank you for all the reviews and supportive comments we received this time as well.
Now then, we conducted a survey regarding the train simulator by September 28th. We sincerely thank everyone who took the time to respond!
Let's reveal the answer to the hint for the next route release related to this survey: What DLC did the phrase “a route that ranks in the top 3 routes you hope to see released in the future” represent?

All trains on this line are operated by the E233 series, with local trains stopping at every station and rapid trains also running. In addition to service within the line, some trains operate through to the Keihin-Tōhoku and Negishi Lines.
The trains feature distinctive green and yellow-green stripes and are designated “JH” on route maps.
By now, you all understand, right?
So, the next DLC will be "Yokohama Line"!
Route: Yokohama Line・Negishi Line
Section: Outbound（Northbound） Ōfuna Station ⇒ Hachiōji Station (66.5km)
Series E233 - 6000 (8-car trains)
Release date: Scheduled for Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Sales price: 3,480 yen
The Yokohama Line is a 42.6 km railway connecting Higashi-Kanagawa Station in Yokohama and Hachiōji Station in Tōkyō.It began operation on September 23, 1908, by the Yokohama Railway.Company, originally for transporting raw silk.
In addition to trains between Higashi-Kanagawa and Hachiōji, some services run directly to Sakuragichō and Ōfuna via the Keihin-Tōhoku/Negishi Line. Rapid services operate between Higashi-Kanagawa and Sagamihara from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM to improve convenience.
All trains use 8-car E233 series 6000-series formations, featuring the line's distinctive yellow-green and green stripes and“YOKOHAMA LINE”logo. They are equipped with ATS-P (Yokohama Line) and digital ATC (Negishi Line), requiring drivers to handle different operating procedures. Frequent gradients and speed changes demand skilled notch control.
Trains from Ōfuna travel via Ishikawachō (near Chinatown) and Yokohama Station (Kanagawa's largest), heading to Higashi-Kanagawa. From there, they pass Kikuna (Tōkyū Tōyoko Line), Shin-Yokohama (Tōkaidō Shinkansen, Tōkyū Shin-yokohama Line, Sotetsu Shin-yokohama Line, Yokohama Municipal Subway BLUE LINE), and residential areas in Midori Ward. After Nagatsuta (Tōkyū Den-en-toshi Line), the line enters Tōkyō at Naruse. It connects with Odakyu Odawara Line at Machida, Keiō Sagamihara Line and Sagami Line at Hashimoto, and Chūō and Hachikō Lines at Hachiōji.
Enjoy the scenery as the train travels from Ōfuna to Hachiōji, weaving through residential and commercial districts along the way.
