Station numbering was introduced on all Seibu Railway lines during fiscal 2012, with Numabukuro Station becoming "SS06".[3]

Future developments

In order to ease congestion and improve the safety of the railway in the local area, plans have been produced to divert the tracks between Nakai Station and Nogata Station underground. Consequently, the existing station complex is expected to be replaced by an underground station.[4] Approval for the plan was granted in April 2013.[5]

In fiscal 2013, the station was the 53rd busiest on the Seibu network with an average of 19,720 passengers daily.[6]
