History

The 8900 series is based on Keisei 3700 series, though there are several differences. Three eight-carriage units were introduced in total, but they were shortened to six coaches in 2014 due to a drop in demand. Redundant intermediate carriages were disposed of.

As Shin-Keisei will be dissolved and merged with Keisei, the existing fleets will be acqured by Keisei on 1 April 2025.

Current Operations & Future Prospects

The 8900 series is used on Matsudo Line but not on Chiba Line.
