Its official name is the “Tojo Main Line,” but it is commonly referred to as the “Tojo Line.” As a major commuter route starting from Ikebukuro, the line plays a key role in supporting heavy passenger traffic, particularly for work and school commutes. Although the Tobu Skytree Line is physically connected to the Tobu Tojo Line via the Chichibu Railway, it operates as an independent service system. It is equipped with the T-DATC (Tobu-type Automatic Train Control) safety system.[/p][p]This DLC features the upbound section (toward Ikebukuro) of the Tojo Line, covering the 17.8 km stretch between Shiki Station and Ikebukuro Station. The Tojo Line offers multiple types of train services, and in this DLC, you can choose from four different train types. Enjoy the dynamic change in scenery—from peaceful suburban neighborhoods to the dense urban landscape of central Ikebukuro—as you experience the distinctive character of the Tojo Line.[/p][p]※This simulation reproduces the 2022 operating timetable.
