Yokohama Station to Kannai?

Yokohama Station to Kannai?
Commish, I guess this is for you. The Hyperpedia timetable says to take the Keihin-Tohoku Negishi line from Yokohama to Kannai, but once at Yokohama, I never found the line going on to Kannai. I found a platform for Keihin-Tohoku Negishi, but the sign indicated the trains on that platform were going toward Tokyo, and indeed, the two I saw were heading that way. Is there a second platform I didn't see? Is there a better way than hoofing it the mile and a half or so to the ballpark, which I ain't gonna do again.

Thank you.

Same platform, opposite side.

The side you want says that the trains to go Sakuragicho, Isogo, and Ofuna. If you have a compass, they're the south bound trains. It's just two stops, but occasional trains only go to Sakuragicho (the first stop after Yokohama) before turning around. If you catch one of those, it'll stop between the two platforms at Sakuragicho, opening the doors on the left side first to let people off, then on the right side to let people going toward Tokyo (or Hachioji) on. Just cross to the opposite side of the platform on the left side of the train and continue on the next train bound for Isogo or Ofuna.

Trains on the opposite side at Yokohama Station say they're going toward Kawasaki, Tokyo, and Omiya, with occasional ones for Higashi Kanagawa, Shin Yokohama, and Hachioji.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, Westbay-san. I've found a train to goes all the way from Tokyo to Kannai. This means, I hope, that I won't be panting and swearing tomorrow as I get to the park and will be in a much better mood. Will you be there?
