"Late Night Burbs, Tachikawa Station, and Yurakucho"

Starting with a view of a late-night, nearly empty station out in suburbia, and then jumping to another day in Tachikawa, making my way through a crowd of people exiting the station while I'm entering it.  After that, a view of the long escalator at Tokyo Station, and platform views at Yurakucho Station.

Late night at a nearly empty station out in a Tokyo suburb - conditions are not always crowded everywhere, all the time!

Walking from the high elevated Chuo Line platform down to the under-tracks transfer area - walking down the long escalator to get there.

"Tokyo Station - Waiting for Next Yamanote Train" (100428-1120)

Waiting for the next Yamanote Line train at Tokyo Station.

The reason I didn't take the Keihin-Tohoku Line train that came, was because at this time of day (11:20 a.m.), the Keihin-Tohoku Line doesn't stop at Yurakucho, which was my destination.

Now that spring is completely here (and it's beginning to get hot even), the cold windy evenings of rushing for home are past (for now) and people are wandering around a bit more in typical Tokyo evening fashion.
