Rolling Stock

Services are operated by a fleet of CXD104 trains, with the first 20 sets fitted with Alstom OptONIX 1500 VVVF inverters and subsequent trains fitted with CRRCTEC tPower-TN3 VVVF inverters. 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.
