The South East Line (Chinese: 東南綫) Is a Commuter-Rail type line consisting of
11 Stations. The line was built by Grundorf Metro in the South-Eastern part of Grundorf.
It connects Topview Station with Yokohama Intl. Airport and Hillside Raceourse.
History
Due to high demand for rail connection to the Yokohama Airport,
Grundorf Metro decided to start operations on the construction
of a new Line, offering a connection to Grundorf's main areas.
KCR also helped connecting the airport with the Yokohama Airport Line.
Construction ended and the line opened on the 21st of December of 2023, with the 2 termini being Topview and Easo Rinkai. Grundorf Metro decided to rebuild Yokohama Airport Station thanks with the permission of Kowloon-Canton Railway to offer more space to the high demand that the station recieved.
Thanks to funds from the government, Grundorf Metro also helped in opening a new F1 Circuit near Easo Rinkai. On the 3rd of February 2024, Grundorf opened a 1 stop extension to Hillside Racecourse.
