The name "F Liner" is given to trains under the two route systems explained below. The service type of trains may change once across boundary stations for two different lines. Therefore, systematically, the name "F Liner" will be added before the service type; this means all F Liner trains are referred to as "F Liner, (Service type on current line)". For instance: Within the Fukutoshin Line â "F Liner, Express", bound for Motomachi-Chà «kagai; Within the Toyoko Line â "F Liner, Limited Express", bound for Shinrin-Kà Âen.
Within the Fukutoshin Line, the Tà Âyoko Line and the Minatomirai Line, four F Liner trains operate every hour at 15-minute intervals during daytime: two operate on the Tà Âbu Line system from/to Shinrin-Kà Âen, and the other two operate on the Seibu Line system, with one operating from/to Hannà Â, and the other from/to Kotesashi, each operating at 1-hour intervals. For northbound trains on weekend mornings, only one F Liner train operates every hour which terminates at Hannà Â.
The longest distance travelled for an F Liner journey is , from Ogawamachi to Motomachi-Chà «kagai.
From 18 March 2023, F Liner services now operate as Rapid Express services on the Tobu Tojo Line instead of Express services, skipping Shiki and Fujimino.

Regularly, all F Liner trains are operated in 10-car sets.
