Subway vs Commuter Rail in Japan: both are high frequency, both have high-capacity designs, only superficial differencespic.twitter.com/4eEgmZkioi
Most subways in Tokyo are narrow gauge, but a few are standard and one is 1372mm. Same story for commuter lines
IOW the stock would not be interchangeable even if it were all 3rd rail power (just noticed the pantograph on the commuter train)?
Most subway lines don't just have hypothetically interchangeable stock, they literally run through service onto commuter lines
Narrow gauge subways are interoperated with narrow gauge commuter lines, ditto for standard and 1372mm gauge. Only a few subways don't...
...the one in the picture, the red Marunouchi Line, is one of those which doesn't interoperate w commuter lines, none of which use 3rd rail
The Ginza and Oedo Lines also don't have any commuter interoperation. Ginza is 3rd rail, Oedo uses a linear induction motor.
JR East, Keisei, Tobu, Toyo Rapid, Shibayama, Saitama, Seibu, Keio, Tokyu, Odakyu, Keikyu, & Minatomirai all have interoperations w subwayspic.twitter.com/vTWs6A2ZwL
