Most trains continue on to the Chiyoda Line excluding trains during early morning and late evenings. Some trains also continue on to the Odakyu Line.

Trains don't go towards Ueno and Tokyo, so passengers must transfer to the Jōban Line (Rapid) at Kita-Senju on the Chiyoda Line. Passengers can also transfer to the Yamanote Line at Nishi-Nippori.

Trains operate every 10 minutes during daytime.^[1]

• Trains stop at all stations.
• Trains only operate during weekday rush hours between Abiko and Toride.
