History

The 1100 series was converted from Keio 5000 series, which was operational in 1963-96. Kotoden purchased eight carriages and rearranged to four two-car units, renamed them 1100 series and introduced to Kotohira Line. Since the 1100 series were air-conditioned, they contributed to modernisation of Kotohira Line services.

There are still several ex-Keio 5000 series trains in Japan, such as Fujikyu 1000 series and Iyotetsu 700 series.


Current Operations & Future Prospects

All 1100 series units are used on Kotohira Line.
