The Tokyu 2000 series (東急2000系, Tōkyū 2000-kei) is a Japanese commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Tokyu Corporation in the Tokyo area of Japan since 1992. Until 2019, the type was used on Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line inter-running services. Presently, they are used on the Tokyu Ōimachi Line, having operated on the line since 2018. Three 10-car sets were built,[1] all of which were converted to five-car sets from 2018.

From 2019, all sets were reclassified as the Tokyu 9020 series (東急9020系).

Operations

[edit]

The 2000 series sets are used on the Tokyu Ōimachi Line and were formerly used on Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line inter-running services until 2019. They are not capable of running through onto the Tobu Skytree Line, and had circular "K" stickers on the centre front cab window to indicate this.[1]

Design

[edit]

Based on the earlier Tokyu 9000 series EMU design, two sets were introduced in 1992, followed by a third in 1993.[1] The first two sets were delivered with roller blind destination indicators, whereas the third set was delivered from new with 3-colour LED destination indicators.[1] All three sets have since been modified with full-colour LED destination indicators.[1]
