History
The 2000 series is a commuter train type, introduced to stopping services to and from Shinjuku. It looks like almost identical to 1000 series, but traction and braking systems are completely different. Doors of the 2000 series are slightly wider than other commuter trains, but not as large as some 1000 series units.
All units consist of eight coaches, and always used independently (i.e. never join to other train).
Current Operations & Future Prospects
The 2000 series are mostly used for stopping services on Odawara Line (Shinjuku - Hon-Atsugi) and Tama Line. Due to short platforms, they are not used on Enoshima Line and Odawara Line beyond Shin-Matsuda.
