The new N-EX E259 trains are currently undergoing training and final testing before being introduced on the Narita Airport to Tokyo Express service. They will officially enter service on October 1st this year, in plenty of time before our arrival in February.
Ideally though, i'd still like to catch at least one of the older trains on one of our two journeys to/from Narita, but i guess it'll be ride them as they come!

On another note, Keith and I caught up with each other last week for some more planning of our itinerary. I cant believe how quickly it's filled up! We have stuff to do on almost 12 out of our 17 or so days in Tokyo. Alot of our train spotting will take place as we travel from attraction to attraction.
Although at least one Journey on the 500 Series Shinkansen (Which is not covered by our JR pass, so we have to pay a cash fare) has been slated in. More than likely it will be the day we go to check out the Meitetsu Railroad in Nagoya.
