That's useful to know, thanks. Will the price be going up?

The fare, 2940 yen for economy class between Narita and Tokyo, stays the same. The train is a cool design and interior like a universal facility for a person, who has a disability with a wheelchair. For a while, some Narita Express will operate by the old model trains.

But those orange limo buses are so convenient for people staying in most western hotels , as it s door to door Dragging a case thru the labyrinth of Shinjuku Eki after getting off hardly makes the train worth it IMHO

I would chose the orange limos anytime as they are extremely convenient. Tagging luggage in any of the stations of Japan is not an interesting experience.

I agree with you. Many travellers use NRT Limo bus to anywhere in Tokyo. Even though you sleep over on the train, no one wakes you up. The bus operates a point-to-point, airport to hotel service. That's why many travellers choose limo bus.
