Shin-Fukui

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Shin-Fukui Station opened on 11 February 1914 as the terminus of the Kyoto Dentō Echizen Electric Railway's line between this point and Ichiarakawa (today Echizen-Takehara). The line was extended to Fukui in September 1929 and the section double-tracked that November. The operator joined Keifuku Electric Railway in March 1942 and the station was destaffed in January 1993. After the June 2001 collision shut the line, operations passed to Echizen Railway and resumed on 20 July 2003. The Shin-Fukui–Fukuiguchi section was singled in April 2006, the station was raised to a temporary elevated alignment on 27 September 2015 (initially borrowing the Hokuriku Shinkansen viaduct), and it was rebuilt as a permanent elevated station with two opposed side platforms on 24 June 2018.

From September 2015 until the dedicated viaduct opened in June 2018, Shin-Fukui's trains ran on a borrowed stretch of Hokuriku Shinkansen elevated track — an unusual case of a local third-sector line temporarily using brand-new shinkansen infrastructure.
