3 unusual facts about Tokyo Metro 10000 series


Tokyo Metro 10000 series

From 7 September 2012, 8-car 10000 series sets were introduced on Tōkyū Tōyoko Line and Minatomirai Line services, several months before the planned start of through-running operations.

Five sets (10101 to 10105) were reformed as 8-car sets from the start of Fukutoshin Line services in June 2008 to cover for a shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets.

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