Boarding Facilities of the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line

In the Maglev operation, for the purpose of shielding the passengers from the magnetic fields of the SCMs, boarding facilities resembling boarding bridges at airports are installed on the platform so that the passengers can safely get on or off the train.

Test platform (extending type)

This is a four-layered box-like structure making a passage that extends and contracts like bellows.

Test platform (rotating type)

This is a three-sided structure consisting of a floor and two sidewalls. For boarding, a pair of doors on the platform side rotate 90 degrees and sliding boards emerge, making a passage.
