“Thread Line” at the Edge of Platform in Musashi-kosugi Station
In 2019 July, JR East announced that the company will add some devices to improve safety of Yokosuka Line platform in Musashi-kosugi Station. “Thread line” is one of them. It is a set of LED lights at the edge of the platform. When a train arrives, the lights blink so that they look like something moving along the edge of the platform toward the same direction as the train.
In the announcement, JR East said that “thread line” would appear in 2020 March. But the device on the track for Yokohama became active at the end of 2019 November. Probably the device for the other track started the service in 2020 March.
This photo shows the “thread line” working when a Shonan-shinjuku Line E231 series train arrived at Musashi-kosugi.
