Misc.:

The following applies when driving this route in BVE 4: In the beginning of alternative C1367S, before departure from the railway station Hikifune at the Tobu Isesaki line, the safety system should be activated with the key so that the indicator light TOBU is lit. Also, the train type at the MFD should be set to an alternative with green characters in a green frame. When the train has stopped by the platform at next station, Oshiage/Z14 at the subway's Hanzomon line to continue as B1367S, the train's brakes should be set in the emergency brake position, the safety system should be changed with the key so that the indicator light TRTA is lit, and the train type at the MFD should be set to an alternative with red characters in a red frame.

From April 1 2004 (no April fools joke) every station in the Tokyo subway has a normal station name in Japanese, but also a number. The number is composed of a western letter and two digits. The letter indicates at which line the station is, the number which station counted from one of the line's terminal stations.

Hanzomon line has the letter Z and the stations are numbered from 01 till 14, the terminus station Shibuya is station Z01 and the other terminus Oshiage is station Z14.

This number system was implemented to make it easier for foreigners to ride the subway.
