Design edit

The trains are manufactured by Hitachi with aluminium bodies to its "A-train" concept.

The 10000 series was the first new model to be built for Tokyo Metro following privatization. The front-end design is intended to evoke the appearance of the 300 series trains, which were the first trains used on the Marunouchi Line.[2]

On set numbers 10105 onward, built from 2007, the gold colour line was omitted on the front ends.

Operations edit

The fleet of 10-car sets operate on the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin lines, including inter-running services over the Tobu Tojo Line between Wakōshi Station and Shinrinkōen Station, and also services over the Seibu Yurakucho and Ikebukuro Lines between Kotake-mukaihara Station and Hannō Station.

The trains were designed to allow 2 intermediate cars (cars 5 and 6) to be removed easily to create 8-car sets when through-running commences from the Fukutoshin Line to the Tokyu Toyoko Line in 2013. From 7 September 2012, five sets (10101 to 10105) were reformed as 8-car sets to cover for a shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets. These sets are identified by the addition of "8 CARS" stickers on the cab windows.[3] They were introduced on Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line services, several months before the planned start of through-running operations.[4] Once the shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets was over these 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.

Formation edit

As of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of 36 ten-car sets (numbered 01 to 36), formed as follows, with car 1 at the northern (Wakoshi) end.[5]

Car No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Designation CT2 M2 M1 T TC2 MC1 TC1 MC2 M1' CT1
Numbering 10000 10900 10800 10700 10600 10500 10400 10300 10200 10100

Cars 3 and 9 each have two single-arm pantographs, while car 6 has one.[5]

When necessary, the trains can be shortened to eight cars, formed as follows.[1]

Car No. 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10
Designation CT2 M2 M1 T TC1 MC2 M1' CT1
Numbering 10000 10900 10800 10700 10400 10300 10200 10100

Cars 3 and 9 each have two single-arm pantographs.

Interior edit

Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout. Priority seats are provided at the ends of each car, and cars 2 and 9 have wheelchair spaces.[5] Car 9 is designated as a "moderately air-conditioned" car.[5]

History edit

 
8-car set 10104 on a Tokyu Toyoko Line service September 2012

The first set was delivered in May 2006, and entered service on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Tobu Tojo Line in September 2006,[6] allowing four 07 series sets to be transferred to the Tozai Line to replace the remaining 5000 series sets.[1]: 68  10000 series sets entered service on the Seibu Line in February 2007. At the start of Fukutoshin Line services in June 2008, a total of 22 sets had been delivered.[6] And as of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of 36 ten-car sets.

8-car 10000 series sets entered service on the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line from 7 September 2012.[4] These 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.

From April 2016, the original three-colour LED destination indicator panels on some sets were replaced with full-colour LED indicator panels.[7]
