Design
Based on the 5000 series design, cars are 18 metres long and have three sets of doors per side.[1]
These trains use a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to stop automatically at all stations.
Operations
The trains are primarily used on Ikegami Line and Tokyu Tamagawa Line services. Since 2019, they have occasionally been used to provide additional capacity on the Kodomonokuni Line during special events.[2][3][4]
