TheTH Liner (THライナー) is a limited-stop "Home Liner"-style service to and fromKuki Station in Saitama on theTobu Isesaki Line operated by theprivate railway operatorTobu Railway in Japan since June 2020.

TH Liner services operate in the mornings on weekdays and weekends in the "up" direction (two services) fromKuki inSaitama Prefecture toEbisu inTokyo, and in the evenings (weekdays and weekends) in the "down" direction (five services) fromKasumigaseki to Kuki.^[1] In the up direction, a supplement of 580 yen (300 yen for children) is required for travel between the serviced Hibiya Line stations and Sengendai station, and 680 yen (350 yen for children) beyond as far as Kuki station. No supplementary fare is required for passengers boarding the service between Kasumigaseki to Ebisu.^[1] All seats are reserved, and the supplementary tickets indicate which car to ride in.

TH Liner services are operated by a fleet of70090 series 7-carelectric multiple units (EMUs). Like their50090 series counterparts, these sets are unusual in having rotating pairs of seats allowing them to be used with longitudinal seating on regular daytime services, and with transverse seating onTH Liner services.^[1]

Morning "Up" services start at Kuki and terminate at Ebisu. Evening "Down" services start at Kasumigaseki and terminate at Kuki. For the morning "up" services, the service only picks up passengers between Kuki andShin-Koshigaya. BetweenUeno andGinza, passengers can only get off the train. Starting at Kasumigaseki, passengers may get on and off at any of the serviced Hibiya line stations until the terminus at Ebisu. For the evening "down" services, passengers can only get on the train at the Hibiya Line stations starting at Kasumigaseki. Starting at Shin-Koshigaya, passengers may only get off the train until the terminus at Kuki.
