BVE Toei Asakusa Line / Keisei Oshiage Line/ Keihin Kyu

[hongjian]

Hello BVE drivers

There is an update to this route, the Toei Asakusa Line / Keisei Oshiage Line/ Keihin Kyuko Line. For drivers who came from Japan, especially Tokyo, this line is very familiar to you. For those who do not have any idea, let me inform you that this is the most complex and longest tube line in the world.

There are 5 major rail companies operating on this route. They are Keisei, TOEI, UDC, Hokuso Development Railways and Keihin Kyuko.

The actual route starts from either Keihin's Enoshima Peninsula terminus through Yokohama, or Haneda Airport, to Shinagawa in Tokyo, where it joins the actual Toei Asakusa line to Oshiage in north-eastern Tokyo. From Oshage, the line links with Keisei line to destinations in Chiba Peninsula like Narita Airport, Keisei Takasago or onto UDC lines to Imba Japan medical school Terminus.

The BVE version however do not have such complexity, instead, the routes drivable are only:

1 Original TOEI AsakusaTube Lines
Keikyu Sengakuji-Oshiage or Nishi Umagome-Oshiage
2 Haneda Airport-Keisei Tsudanuma (Keisei, TOEI, Keihin)
3 Haneda Airport-Sengakuji (Keihin,TOEI)
4 Oshiage-Keisei Tsudanuma (TOEI,Keisei)
5 Keisei Takasago-Imba Japan medical schools (Keisei,UDC)

All these routes and trains downloadable from http://sekky21.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ (if have access to Japanese character software) or the translated version can be accessed via www.bve-routes.com and click on Japan and the TOEI Asakusa link.

Happy Driving.

I have problem with the Japanese script route files.

The self extracting programme will not extract them, nor Win RAR. I have tried with LH melt but no luck again (it says that there are no archives). :(

Any suggestions on how I will change the ruined Japanese characters and finaly extract them?

Thank you

Thanks to Peter for pointing out the link to the English version of the TOEI route. Only the TOEI Subway route is available in English, however the others like the Keisei,UDC and Keihin routes are only in Japanese, which include the longest route drivable.

For drivers interested in having the Japanese version, I know it is a pain when your Windows cannot read the characters. Two Solutions offered are, download Japanese translation software, like the ones available from Twinbridge or Richwin or an upgrade to Windows XP, which supports Japanese characters.
