Seibu Chichibu Line

Abbreviations here are for the table below and are not formally used.

  Local (各停, Kakutei) Stops at all stations.

  S-Train (エストレイン, Esutorein) (ST)

Morning and evening reserved-seat services between Seibu-Chichibu and Motomachi-Chūkagai via the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Lines on weekends.

  Limited Express (特急, Tokkyū) (LE): Trains named Chichibu (ちちぶ), from Ikebukuro to Seibu-Chichibu, with supplementary limited express charge.

Despite the Seibu Chichibu Line only spanning Agano to Seibu-Chichibu, all trains operate through service to the Seibu Ikebukuro Line via Agano Station until at least Hannō Station.

Notes:

The entire line was opened on October 14, 1969, after over two years of construction, considerably shortening the travel time between Chichibu and Tokyo. Twenty years later, on April 1, 1989, a connection opened to the Chichibu Railway's Chichibu Main Line, and through service began. On March 28, 1996, freight services between Higashi-Yokoze freight terminal and Shin-Akitsu (on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line) ceased. On March 12, 2003, "wanman" (one man) driver only operation began. Until March 8, 2020 there were two Rapid Express round trips from Ikebukuro bound for Nagatoro and Mitsumineguchi.
