Narita Express Timetable and Suica 2009/6/11 10:54
In this timetable, http://jreast-shinkansen-reservation.eki-net.com/pc/eng..., there are 2 columns for some trains, eg Narita Express 6. Does it mean the train 'splits' before reaching Tokyo?
Regarding the NaritaExpress-Suica package for 3500Yen, is it avaialbe for JR Pass holders who would then need pay only about 500Yen for the Suica?

It splits AT Tokyo Station: as all seats are reserved you will be placed in a carriage that will take you to wear you need to go.

NO: you cannot use a JR Pass for credit on a Suica Nex package: its one OR the other

RE: JAPAN RAIL PASS, N'EX, Suica /PASMO 2009/6/12 02:30
JAPAN RAIL PASS and Suica are not compatible.
You can not combine them for any ride, I think, but you can use a Suica card instead of the pass when you take a ride around Tokyo to another company line's station covered by PASMO system.

--For your information--

JAPAN RAIL PASS:
- To get this pass, ''Temporary Visitor'' status is a must.
- This pass covers JR local trains, JR rapid, Express, Ltd. Express and Shinkansen Superexpress services except Shinkansen Nozomi trains; it's also valid for JR Miyajima ferry, JR local bus lines and some of JR highway bus services.
- A passenger can not go through ticket gate machines at stations with this pass.

Suica & N'EX Package:
- This package is available regardless of legal visiting status; foreign nationality and foreign passport are the conditions.
- A N'EX ticket is valid until the midnight; it can not stay over night.
- A passenger can use the ticket in this package before and after getting off the N'EX train to a station inside the area showed (colored on the map) in this page:

Suica / PASMO:
- Suica / PASMO may be useful if you know it well. Suica and PASMO are compatible as to their unique fare computation and collection systems.
- The systems cover fare between two stations per ride, in a large area around Tokyo, on lines of many railway companies. Usage for bus rides is limited to busses with appropriate device for a Suica / PASMO card.
- A passenger who entered railway network with a card is required to exit it with the same card by the midnight.
- If there exists no route between the two stations available with services by 4 or less companies, the passenger can not exit through a gate machine.
