Platform doors have been installed on tracks 2 and 3 at Koshien Station.
They’re up even though no train is coming.
They’ve been installed, but they’re not in operation yet. This is a scene you can only see right now.Once they start operating, you’ll never see it again.
By the way, tracks 1 and 4 at Koshien Station look like this.
In contrast, tracks 2 and 3 use a rope-type system. Do you know why they’re different?
It’s actually because Hanshin Railway trains have 3 doors, while the through-service Kintetsu trains have 4 doors, so the number of doors is different, and the boarding positions don’t line up.
Finally
Even within the same group, Hankyu trains, which have fewer through-services, keep the number of doors consistent, while Hanshin Railway, which operates direct services with three companies, handles things more flexibly. It’s interesting how even something like platform doors can show each railway company’s character.
