Ogose Station (Japan)

Ogose Station (越生駅, Ogose-eki) is a railway station in the town of Ogose, Saitama, Japan, jointly operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the private railway operator Tobu Railway. [1] [2]

Contents

Lines

Ogose Station is served by the single-track Hachikō Line between Komagawa and Takasaki, and also forms the terminus of the 10.9 km Tobu Ogose Line single-track branch from Sakado. The station lies 8.5 km from the starting point of the Hachikō Line at Komagawa. [3]

Station layout

The station consists of two island platforms for Tobu and JR East respectively. The JR East platform serves only one track since the removal of the track on platform 1 in April 2013 to allow construction of a passenger lift. An additional storage track is located on the east side of the Tobu platform. The station has a JR Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.

The toilets located on the north end of the Tobu platform were removed in 2013 when the platform was lengthened as part of the work to add lift access to the platforms.

The JR East station (formerly JNR) opened on 15 April 1933. [3] The Tobu station opened on 16 December 1934. [4]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Ogose Line, with Ogose Station becoming "TJ-47". [5]

In 2013, construction work started to add lift access between the platforms and the station entrance. This entailed lifting the track serving platform 1, removal of the toilet block at the north end of the Tobu platform, and lengthening the Tobu platform by one car length to the north. [6]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2014, the JR East station was used by an average of 738 passengers daily (boarding passengers only). [7] The Tobu station was used by an average of 3,851 passengers daily. [8] The passenger figures for previous years are as shown below. (JR East figures are for boarding passengers only.)
