Thank you for visiting my blog, Tokyo Railway Labyrinth. I have been introducing you to labyrinthine railway routes in the Tokyo metropolitan area since 2011. Tokyo Railway Labyrinth had its eighth anniversary. I thank all my blog readers for visiting this website and sending comments. Sorry, I can't respond to you now, as I am very busy at work. Currently, I try to update my blog once every three days, but it is very difficult.
In commemoration of the eighth anniversary, I am going to show you a train with number "8" in the name. The EMU Tokyo Metro 08 series is a representative train on the subway, Hanzomon line. It was launched in 2003 in preparation for direct operation between the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon and the Tobu Isesaki lines. A total of 6 sets, 60 units, were built by Nippon Sharyo. The octagonal black face with a purple stripe is a good accent of this train. For your information, purple is the line color of the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. The greatest feature of the 08 series is its body. It has a double skin structure, which is similar to that of corrugated paper. Thanks to this structure, the body of the 08 series is strong; nevertheless, it doesn't have pillars.
Incidentally, Tokyo Metro recently made a press release announcing that the new model, EMU 18000 series, will be introduced onto the Hanzomon line in 2021. It will replace the old model 8000 series. Time moves quickly.
