I'll have to go through these several times to pick up all the interesting details.  Wow, thank you for posting these!   I hope to ride some of this equipment on my Tokyo trip this coming fall, if all goes well.

Thanks,

Great photos, thank you for sharing!

Wow!, what a wonderful variety of equipment, thanks for posting.
I have one question, there are many views where the train is at a curved
platform. It would appear that the train door wouldnot be  very close to the
platform at the center of each car. Are gap fillers used or are the passengers
especially careful when entering or exiting the train??

Yes, some stations, you can see some gap fillers (hard rubber made fillers).  Or even some EMUs have extra steps underneath the doors.

Hope this helps,

Hiroshi
