The Tokyo Monorail 1000 series (東京モノレール1000形 Tōkyō Monorēru 1000-gata) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since 1989.[1]
Overview
The 1000 series trains were introduced from 1989 to replace earlier non-air-conditioned rolling stock and to provide increased capacity with the expansion and relocation of the terminal building at Haneda Airport.[1]
Formation
The fleet consists of four six-car sets (numbered 1001 to 1091) as shown below, with all cars motored.[2] Car 1 is at the Hamamatsucho end.
| Car No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Mc1 | M2 | M1' | M2' | M1 | Mc2 |
| Numbering | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of a mixture of facing 4-seat bays.[1]
History
The fleet of 16 trainsets was delivered between 1989 and 1996 in eight batches, batches 16 to 23, with differing seating configurations.[1] The first set was delivered on 5 June 1989, with the last set delivered by 10 June 1996.[3]
In 2002, the fleet was modified for wanman driver-only operation.[1] In 2004, LED destination indicators were added to the sides of the trains, coinciding with the introduction of limited-stop "Rapid" services on the line.[1] A programme of life-extension refurbishment was subsequently implemented, including new seat moquette.[1] As of March 2014, five sets have been treated.[1]
Livery variations
Originally delivered in a livery of black, red, and white, the 1000 series trains were repainted from 2000 into a new livery of black, blue, orange, and white.[1] A number of "revival" livery variations subsequently appeared, with set 1019 receiving a light blue and white "100 series style" livery in 2003, set 1085 receiving the original 1000 style livery in 2013, and set 1049 receiving a red and white "500 series style" livery in 2014.[1]
