While discussing [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/28456/grammar-behind-a-
train-transfer-announcement) I found a new problem: is there a way to say
"destination line" in Japanese using a noun or a compound noun?

I am thinking of the ◯◯ in the following construction:

> 「乗換駅{のりかええき}は何ですか」  
>  「梅田です」  
>  「◯◯は何ですか」 (何線に乗り換えなければなりませんか)  
>  「御堂筋線です」

I already learnt 乗り換え先{さき} is not what I wanted (supposedly it means
"destination station of a destination line"). 乗り換え電車{でんしゃ}、乗り換え線｛せん｝ do not
seem to work. 目的線{もくてきせん} neither.

I thought of 次の電車, but that is ambiguous and 次の線 is wrong.

Is it possible to say without using a verb?

Is there a noun for a "destination line" when changing trains?
乗り換え先 is pretty ambiguous, in that it's just 乗り換え with a `〜先` suffix, and not
some kind of established train lingo. It literally signifies the “destination
of transfer”, which could refer to either the station of transfer, the
transfer line, or the final destination station after the transfer.

Using that ambiguity to your advantage, you could qualify it by saying
乗り換え先の○○○, or any other way that clarifies what you mean:

  * 乗り換え先の電車は何ですか？
  * 乗り換え先の路線は何ですか？
  * 乗り換え先は何線ですか？

Or, now that I think about it, you don't even need the `〜先`. A simple
乗り換えは何線{なにせん}ですか will work.

answer
how about:

> 行先降車線

In writing, I bet that is easily understood. In conversation, "ゆきさきこうしゃせん"
might be difficult to understand. But, with context, it might work.
