The Keio New Line generally follows the main Keio Line along National Route 20 (Koshu Kaido) on a deeper route. Except for a short segment just before Sasazuka Station, the entire line is underground. Series-8000 rolling stock on the Keio Line. ...

Because the line was built to normal railway standards and not to subway standards, only specially-designed trains can travel along the Keio New Line. However, since new train cars are being designed to be able to operate on above-ground and below-ground tracks there is no real point to the differentiation. All trains going west of Sasazuka station start and arrive at Shinjuku Station. During events at the Tokyo Racecourse, there are express trains that run from Fuchūkeibaseimonmae Station to Shinjuku station. Tokyo Racecourse is located in Kanto Prefecture, Japan. ...

The Keio New Line shares the same platforms with the Toei Shinjuku Line at Shinjuku Station. From here trains travel west-southwest. At Hatsudai Station, the westbound platform is two floors underground while the eastbound one is three floors underground. (Both platforms are on the north side of the station.) At Hatagaya Station both platforms are two floors underground with platforms on either side of the two central tracks. From this point, the Keio New line diverges from the Koshu Kaido and heads towards the Keio Line further south. The Keio Line runs along the outside of the New Line on an elevated viaduct over Prefectural Road 420 (Nakano Dori) until Sasazuka Station.

Hatsudai and Hatagaya Stations: Only on the New Line

All Keio Line trains pass Hatsudai and Hatagaya stations since they are located on the Keio New Line. Customers traveling to Hatsudai and Hatagaya are directed to board at Shinsen Shinjuku Station, but those not used to the system often mistakenly board at the main Keio Line station. (While Hatsudai and Hatagaya stations are served by both the Keio New Line and the Toei Shinjuku Line, those lines are not usually referred to together.)

Interestingly, the old Keio Line platform at Hatsudai still exists and is used to store building materials.

About Naming

The Keio New Line was often dubbed part of the Toei Shinjuku Line, ostensibly because of local real-estate agents who considered "Keio" to have a strong image of the Tokyo suburbs, while the term "Shinjuku Line" had a much stronger mental connection to the central city. Another example of this thinking is the segment of the JR Joban Line that has direct service from the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line, or the Tobu Isesaki Line local trains that have service from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.

Because of that, past real estate advertisements would often have mistaken phrases such as, "5 minutes walk from Shinjuku Line Hatagaya Station," "11 minutes walk from Toei Shinjuku Line Hatsudai Station," or "14 minutes by bus from Keio Shinjuku Line Sasazuka Station." This practice is gradually fading away but still persists in some real estate agents' advertisements.
