Narita speeds up access

TOKYO has a new express train service connecting the central station and Narita Airport.  Travel is now as little as 36mins, about 15mins less than the existing Narita Express service.  Called Sky Access, trains can reach a maximum speed of 100mph and have wider seating and luggage space, higher ceilings, AC power and security cameras at the luggage space and decks.  Tokyo Haneda Airport’s new fourth runway opens at the beginning of the winter timetable, and with it the transfer of some flights from Narita.  The monorail to Haneda from downtown Tokyo takes about 20mins. www.keisei.co.jp/keisei/tetudou/skyliner/us/skyliner.html
