Saitama Railway 2000 series

Data (as of 12 Oct 2024)

History

The 2000 series entered service in 2001 when Saitama Railway, also known as Saitama Stadium Line, was opened. The train is based on Tokyo Metro 9000 series, though looks a little different. 10 six-carriage units were introduced in total, and they have been used for through-services to Tokyo Metro Namboku and Tokyu lines. Overhaul work is carried out by Tokyo Metro.

Current Operations & Future Prospects

The 2000 series trains have been used on Saitama Railway as well as Tokyo Metro Namboku and Tokyu Meguro Lines. They have also been used on Tokyu Shin-Yokohama Line but not on Sotetsu lines. They were also used for a through-service to Tokyu Toyoko and Minatomirai Lines at peak seasons in 2004-06.
