History

The Seibu station opened on 15 April 1915.[1] The Toei station opened on 10 December 1991.[1]

The original ground-level station was rebuilt as an elevated station in 1997, and at the same time, the number of tracks was increased to six to allow non-stop trains to pass.[2]

From 1998, inter-running of some services commenced to and from the Seibu Yurakucho Line.[2]

Station numbering was introduced on all Seibu Railway lines during fiscal 2012, with Nerima Station becoming "SI06".[3]

Through-running to and from Yokohama and Motomachi-Chukagai via the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line commenced on 16 March 2013.[4]
