History

Shin-Sakuradai Station opened on 1 October 1983 as the provisional terminus of the Seibu Yūrakuchō Line between Shin-Sakuradai and Kotake-Mukaihara. The Yūrakuchō Line never originally planned an intermediate stop, but persistent construction problems around Nerima Station meant Seibu needed a temporary terminus, with Eidan Yūrakuchō Line trains running one-way into Seibu metals because no other Seibu line yet connected. When the rest of the line opened on 6 December 1994 — initially as single track between Shin-Sakuradai and Nerima — the station became an intermediate stop. Double-tracking on 26 March 1998 enabled through-running to Tokorozawa via the Ikebukuro Line, and Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line through-services began on 14 June 2008. The station is in Sakuradai, Nerima, Tokyo, and is numbered SI38.

Notes

Shin-Sakuradai is the only underground station Seibu Railway manages. Because the station's construction had been entrusted to the Eidan subway authority, and the partly opened line was in effect a branch of the Eidan Yūrakuchō Line, its design and signage originally followed Eidan practice, even though Seibu staff ran the station from the outset.
