“N’EX”
series E259 Narita Express
East Japan Railway Company
This limited-express train provides service between Narita International Airport and Tokyo. By enhancing the brand status of N’EX, which was already established through the preceding 253 series of trains, the design was created to meet changing needs. The fusion between the design and state-of-the-art technology led to the creation of a mobile space and time in which passengers could enjoy a comfortable ride.
