銀座線渋谷新駅舎、供用開始　ホームにＭ字形屋根―東京メトロ

　東京メトロは３日、銀座線渋谷駅（東京都渋谷区）の新駅舎で列車の運行を始めた。旧駅舎から約１３０メートル東寄りに移したホームは白いＭ字形の屋根が特徴で、幅はこれまでの約６メートルから約１２メートルへと拡大した。
　東京メトロは新駅舎の供用開始を記念し、３日未明に式典を開催。午前５時すぎに浅草行きの始発列車が出発した際には社員らが拍手で見送った。山村明義社長は「旧駅舎はホームの幅が狭く、（改札なども）分かりにくい構造だった」と振り返った上で、新駅舎について「安全で便利な駅とするため、ホームドアの設置、トイレの整備も継続する」と話した。（2020/01/03-10:55）

Tokyo Metro Co. opened new Shibuya Station of its Ginza Line on Friday, with the day's first train for the line's other terminal, Asakusa Station, departing shortly after 5 a.m. (8 p.m. Thursday GMT) amid applause from employees of the subway operator.
   An M-shaped white roof over the new station's platform stands out, while the platform, located about 130 meters east of the site for the previous Shibuya Station platform, has a width of about 12 meters, compared with some 6 meters for the defunct one.
   On Friday morning, Tokyo Metro held a ceremony to mark the opening of the new station. While noting that the old platform was narrow and that the former station had a confusing structure, Tokyo Metro President Akiyoshi Yamamura said, "We'll continue working on installing platform doors and restrooms at the new station to make it safe and convenient for users."
   Construction work for the new station began in February 2009. Train operations were suspended on part of the Ginza Line for six days through Thursday in the final stage of the work.
   "The platform is wider than I expected," a 19-year-old male university student from Yokohama, the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, said as he was busy taking pictures of the new station.
