History
The line started out with the section between Shin-Sakuradai and Kotake-Mukaihara, and began through operations with the TRTA (now Tokyo Metro) Yūrakuchō Subway Line. At this point, the line did not connect with any other Seibu Line, so only TRTA trainsets were used. In 1994, the line was extended from Shin-Sakuradai to Nerima, connecting with the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. Because of track elevation work at Nerima, only one track was used. Later in 1998, the section between Shin-Sakuradai and Nerima became double-tracked, and through services with the Ikebukuro Line began.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-26 |title=東京メトロ有楽町線が西武池袋線に乗り入れ開始した日 -1998.3.26 |trans-title=On this day in 1998, through operation between the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Seibu Yurakucho Line begins |url=https://trafficnews.jp/post/116968 |access-date=2022-03-27 |website=trafficnews.jp |language=ja}}
