The Tokyu 6020 series (東急6020系, Tōkyū 6020-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type used by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in Japan for operation on Tokyu Oimachi Line in the Tokyo area since March 2018.[1]

Design[]

The 6020 series trains share a common design with the Tokyu 2020 series ten-car EMU trains Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line introduced in March 2018.[1]

Operations[]

The two seven-car 6020 series trains are used on express services on the Tokyu Oimachi Line alongside the existing fleet of six Tokyu 6000 series EMUs, which are scheduled to be lengthened from six to seven cars by the start of the revised timetable in March 2018.[1]

Interior[]

Passenger accommodation consists of high-back longitudinal seats.[1] Security cameras are installed in the cars.[1]
