The Keikyu 700 series (京急700形) was a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private operator Keikyu on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan from 1967 until 2005.[1]
The 700 series was the first Keikyu stock type to have 4 doors on each side.[2] A total of 84 cars were built between 1967 and 1971.
The fleet was withdrawn between 1998 and 2005, and 20 cars were transferred to Takamatsu Electric Railway.
Passenger accommodation consisted of longitudinal bench seating throughout.[1]
