The City Liner (シティライナー) is a limited express airport train operated in Japan by Keisei Electric Railway between Tokyo and Narita Airport via the Keisei Main Line. The City Liner service was introduced from 17 July 2010, replacing the former Skyliner services, which were transferred to the new Narita Sky Access route from that date.
Service
City Liner
The City Liner service operates between Keisei Ueno Station and Narita Airport Station. Some City Liner trains originate and terminate at Keisei Narita Station instead of Narita Airport Station.
The one-way ride between Narita Airport and Keisei Ueno costs ¥1,920 (¥1,000 base fare + ¥920 express surcharge).
Morning Liner and Evening Liner
Prior to 09:00 leaving Narita and from 17:59 leaving Ueno, City Liner services are known as Morning Liner and Evening Liner, respectively.
These trains do not stop at Keisei Funabashi Station, but make additional stops at Yachiyodai Station, and Keisei Sakura Station. Some Morning and Evening Liner trains begin or terminate at Keisei Narita Station instead of Narita Airport Station. The base fare remains the same, however the express surcharge is reduced to ¥400 for these trains.
Station stops
Rolling stock
City Liner trains are formed of 8-car AE100 series electric multiple unit (EMU) trains previously used on Skyliner services. Smoking was prohibited in all cars from the start of the new services in July 2010.
History
City Liner services commenced on 17 July 2010, when the former Skyliner services were transferred to the new Narita Sky Access route.
All seven City Liner services daily were suspended following the Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011 and subsequent energy restrictions implemented in the Tokyo area. Two services daily in either direction were however restored from 10 September 2011, following the lifting of energy restrictions.
From the start of the revised timetable on 21 October 2012, City Liner services were further cut back to just one return service daily operating between Keisei Ueno and Keisei Narita.
