Odakyu 5000 series (II)

Data (as of 12 Jan 2024)

History

The 5000 series (II) is the latest commuter train type entered service in 2020. Its front end design looks like a train in rural areas built in the early-1990s, but its traction and computer-controlled system are truly the newest. Each unit consists of ten coaches, replacing 1000 series and 8000 series.

Current Operations & Future Prospects

The 5000 series is used on the entire line but not for through-service to Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line.

The company had planned to continue the introduction of the 5000 series, but it might have changed or deferred due to a drop in demand caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
