On 24th, I rode 9732F set of Keio Corporation's 9000 Series for Hashimoto, whose service kind would change from rapid to express at Chofu, on Toei Shinjuku Line.
Except this, some semi special express trains for Takao-sanguchi also do its kind to local at Kitano (Semi special express is starting to regularly stop at all stations between KItano and Takao-sanguchi from this coming February).
I have a question why the company not create the new name for these trains not to change the kind because the changing the kind at a middle station not the border of the company is sometimes confusing for passengers.
If I name this train, "commuter rapid" (the present commuter rapid is changing its name to "section express" on this coming February) because this stopping pattern only run after 17:00, or "semi section express" due to the some more stopping station than section express. However, I couldn't strike upon any good names.
