Narita Express

This is the JR premier train from Tokyo-Narita Airport. This is the main airport which international airport with flights from the US and Europe. It is also in the middle of nowhere. The Narita Express takes about 1 hour to reach Tokyo (better then driving). The N-Ex, as it is also called, continues from Tokyo Station to either Shinjuku or Yokohama and further out. In 2010 the NEX was outfitted with new equipment, probably in response to the new competition via the Keisei Line who also introduced newer trains with a faster schedule to Tokyo via the new Sky Access line.
