The Tokyu 2000 series (東急2000系, Tōkyū 2000-kei) is a Japanese commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) 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.[1]

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.[1]

Design[]

Based on the earlier EMU design, two sets were introduced in 1992, followed by a third in 1993.[1] 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.[1] All three sets have since been modified with full-colour LED destination indicators.[1]

Formations[]

The 10-car sets consist of six motored (M) cars and four unpowered trailer (T) cars, formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Shibuya end.[2][3]
