[edit] Narita Layover Page

Mike Newman's Narita Layover Page is an excellent resource... but it doesn't fit the Wikitravel:External links guidelines and is a little unstable to boot (he's already taken it down once in a huff). Jpatokal 21:09, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)

[edit] The Future?

Is this useful for travellers?

====The Future====
In 2010, the Narita Rapid Railway service (Japanese Link)  
will begin operation, following new, dedicated rail lines that will take a more straighter path to 
Tokyo. The trains will run to Nippori and Keisei Ueno stations on the Keisei Line, but at constant 
speeds of between 80 and 95 miles per hour, the travel time to and from the airport will be reduced  
sharply, to just 36 minutes.

I propose to remove it. Narita Rapid Railway isn't in operation now, or the near future. We can keep this information on the discussion page as a reminder that it should be added when the new railway looks like it will become operational. Kurkoski 22:44, 11 Sep 2005 (EDT)

In 2010, the Narita Rapid Railway service is scheduled begin operation, following new, dedicated rail lines that will take a more direct route to Tokyo.   
All Skyliner trains from Keisei Ueno and Nippori will be transfered to this new line. At constant speeds of between 80 and 95 miles per hour, the travel 
time to and from the airport will be reduced sharply, to just 36 minutes between Nippori and Airport Terminal 2. There is a provision which would 
eventually allow for these trains to run straight to Tokyo station via a new direct spur from the Toei Asakusa Line.
