I can not wait to use this station. Its dreamy. Like no other!

It's good news. I don't think we've had a new subway station in Tokyo since the Fukutoshin Line opened about a decade or so ago.

Great. I'm looking forward to using that station when life returns to normal.

Time to update my backup PDF Tokyo Metro Map on my smartphone... again.

Many railway enthusiasts turned up to be among the first to board a train at the new station, one of whom was...

I don't understand why writers write that way. Why not: "Many railway enthusiasts turned up to be among the first to board a train at the new station. One of them was..."
