Tobu Ogose Line

Since June 2008, all Ogose Line services are formed of four-car 8000 series EMU trains.

[4] The line was extended from Morido to Ogose on 16 December 1934, from which date passenger services also commenced.

This train initially ran non-stop from Ikebukuro to Ogose (with a driver change at Sakado), but, in subsequent years, included stops at Asakadai and Kawagoe.

The Ogose Line switched to driver-only operation from the start of the revised timetable on 14 June 2008.

[4] The start of driver-only operation also involved the installation of platform edge sensors at all stations on the Ogose Line.
