Shin-Keisei 8000 series

The first set was introduced on 1 December 1978.^[2] Eight more sets were introduced between 1979 and 1985.^[3] With the introduction of newer trains, scrapping and retirements began in 2011. The last set, 8512, was retired on 1 November 2021, following an announcement on the company's official Twitter account.^[4]

Trainsets introduced from 1979 onward carried what subsequently became known as the Shin-Keisei "standard livery", consisting of beige with a brown stripe below the windows.^[2] This livery was also used on the 8800 series trains introduced in 1986.^[2] From December 2006, the trains were repainted into a modified version of this livery with the brown stripes replaced by maroon stripes, coinciding with the start of through-running to and from the Keisei Chiba Line.^[2]

The first set to receive Shin-Keisei's new pink and white corporate livery introduced in 2014 was 8518 in April 2017.^[5]

In 2017, one of the last three 8000 series sets remaining in service, 8512, was specially repainted into the standard livery introduced in 1979.^[2]
