March 23, 2024. It was the moment when the common sense of Kansai residents and Kansai railway fans was overturned. Kita-Osaka Kyuko (Kitakyu), which had always believed that Senri-Chuo would be its terminus, decided to literally break through that wall and extend its reach to Minoh City. Minoh Q's Mall, located on the north side of the intersection of Shin-Midosuji (National Route 423) and Inaichi (National Route 171), became the new terminus, and the area that had previously been forced to take a bus from Senri-Chuo was suddenly directly connected to Shin-Osaka and Osaka Umeda. The bus network in the Minoh City area was also reorganized, with Minoh Kayano Station becoming the base. This extension is sure to cause resentment among Senri-Chuo residents who were hoping to get a seat on the first train, and a loss of revenue for the Hankyu Minoh Line, but Kitakyu is a company with strong Hankyu capital to begin with. With the development around Minoo-Senba-Handaimae Station (foreshadowing the rise of tower apartment buildings), they must be rather pleased. Also, the impact of "19 minutes to Shin-Osaka, 25 minutes to Umeda, 34 minutes to Namba" is felt more by those who use it daily for commuting to work or school. For everyone else...I came across a young man at Minoo Kayano Station asking a station attendant "Does this go to Shin-Osaka?", but I guess they'll get used to it over time. This video is a continuous video from Minoo Kayano Station, the "new northern limit," to Nakamozu Station, including the extended section. Unfortunately, it was a light rain, but I hope you enjoy it as it is a record of the time immediately after the opening. *For the front view of the northbound train, please click here → (Nakamozu → Senri Chuo: • [Front view] Osaka Metro Midosuji Line & Kita-Osaka Kyuko Nakamozu →..., Senri Chuo → Minoh Kayano: • [Commemorating the opening of the Minoh Kayano extension] Kita-Osaka Kyuko Senri Chuo → Minoh Kayano Kitakyushu 9000 series [Front...) ★Chapter list★ 0:00 Title 0:56 Minoh Kayano (extended section) Minoh Semba Handai-mae 2:58 Minoh Semba Handai-mae (extended section) Senri Chuo 5:34 Senri Chuo → Momoyamadai 8:36 Momoyamadai → Ryokuchi Koen 11:24 Ryokuchi Koen → Esaka 14:25 Esaka → Higashi-Mikuni 17:03 Higashi-Mikuni → Shin-Osaka 18:51 Shin-Osaka → Nishinakajima Minamigata 20:25 Nishinakajimaminamigata → Nakatsu 23:07 Nakatsu → Umeda 25:47 Umeda → Yodoyabashi 28:48 Yodoyabashi Station → Honmachi 30:38 Honmachi → Shinsaibashi 32:48 Shinsaibashi → Namba 34:53 Namba → Daikokucho 37:13 Daikokucho → Dobutsuenmae 39:38 Dobutsuenmae → Tennoji 41:46 Tennoji → Showacho 44:46 Showacho → Nishitanabe 46:51 Nishitanabe → Nagai 49:01 Nagai → Abiko 51:06 Abiko → Kitahanada 54:06 Kitahanada → Shinkanoka 56:31 Shinkanoka → Nakamozu ◇ Filming date: March 24, 2024 ◎ Please "subscribe" to the channel from this URL ↓ ♪ / @Tetsudan Video ★ SNS (Please follow us) Twitter → / tetsudanlive Facebook Page → / tetsudanlive Instagram→ / tetsudanlive note→ https://note.com/tetsudan #Kita-Osaka Express #Extension #Minoh Kayano
