Tokyu 2000 series


The Tokyu 2000 series is a Japanese commuter electric multiple unit train type operated by Tokyu Corporation on Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line inter-running services in the Tokyo area since 1992, as well as the Tokyu Oimachi Line since 2018. Only three 10-car sets were built.

Operations

The 2000 series sets are used on Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line, Tokyu Oimachi Line, and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line inter-running services, but are not capable of running through onto the Tobu Skytree Line, and have circular "K" stickers on the centre front cab window to indicate this.

Design

Based on the earlier Tokyu 9000 series EMU design, two sets were introduced in 1992, followed by a third in 1993. The first two sets were delivered with roller blind destination indicators, whereas the third set was delivered from new with 3-colour LED destination indicators. All three sets have since been modified with full-colour LED destination indicators.

Formations

The 10-car sets consist of six motored cars and four unpowered trailer cars, formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Shibuya end.
