Operations
Kanazawa-Bunko is a major station for railway operations. To increase capacity during peak hours, most Limited Express and Morning/Evening Wing services operate in a 12-car formation. In order to achieve this operation, a handful of 4-car trains are placed on standby on sidings around the station and are added to select 8-car Limited Express and Morning Wing trains to form a 12-car train bound for Shinagawa, at which the added sets are then removed.[2][3] The reverse happens during the evening peak hour as the 4-car sets are removed from 12-car trains while the 8-car trains continue south on through services to the Keikyū Kurihama Line and points further south.[4]
History
Kanazawa-bunko Station opened on April 1, 1930.[1]
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kanazawa-Bunko Station was assigned station number KK49.[5]
