The Toei 12-600 series (都営12-600形, Toei 12-600-gata) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) on the Toei Oedo Line in Tokyo, Japan. The first 12-600 series first entered service in 2012. A total of 22 eight-car sets were built from 2011 by Kawasaki and Nippon Sharyo.^[1]^[2]

Formation

The 12-600 series sets were delivered from fiscal 2011. Broadly based on the earlier 12-000 series design (sets 16 to 53), these sets included a number of design improvements.^[3] The latest batch of sets entered service on 15 February 2019 and use a different headlamp setup, with a dual headlamp-taillamp fixture; as opposed to shield-beam headlamps as used on the first eight sets, these use LED fixtures.

As of 2018, ten sets are in service and are all based at Kiba Depot.

The 12-600 sets are formed as shown below, with all cars motored.^[3]
