A new fleet of CXD105 trains with LCD passenger information system installed are currently in production. ===== History ===== Sightseeing Express originally opened as an alternative route of the original Sightseeing Line (now Sightseeing Local Line), to reduce the travel time from [[Cyan Heights]] to [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]]. It then received several extensions, firstly from [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]] to [[West Shore]], then the through operation with Sumeru Line, and finally from [[Cyan Heights]] to [[Twilight Spruce]] and the through operation with Bond Line. This service used to take the name of **Sightseeing Express Line**, but was subsequently renamed to **Sightseeing Express** to better align with its status of a through running system.
