The urban integration is better than I expected There's an arterial but it's not too wide and it's pretty normal on the other side I guess the pavilion at the base of the escalator is a future entrance to Sengakuji Station

Normal neighbourhoods on the other side of the street at the bottom of the escalator

The afformentioned arterial with 5 or 6 lanes and lined with buildings

Looking back at the entrance to the Takanawa Gateway station complex with a pavilion to go underground (maybe to Sengakuji Station, but it's not open yet and doesn't say)

Expo Line trains take about 40 minutes between Waterfront and King George The model predicts 32 minutes, and I don't think I believe it Default settings except max speed 80 km/h and dwell 15 seconds Reducing resampling interval and min curve arc length (to 1 and 5 m) brings it up to 36 minutes

Keikyu normal (all-stop) trains take about 40 minutes over the same route (plus up to maybe 12 minutes waiting for rapid trains to pass) The script estimates 44 minutes (33 minutes with a more typical 30 second dwell) Default settings except max 120 km/h
