Design

The 2300 series design was developed from the earlier 2000 series EMUs first introduced in 1990. The car bodies are stainless steel, with fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) cab ends.

Formation

As of 1 April 2012, the fleet consists of four two-car sets formed as shown below.

The two cars are each fitted with one single-arm pantograph.

Each set has a sticker depicting a different flower on the body side as follows.

  • 2301: Cherry blossom
  • 2302: Flowering dogwood
  • 2303: Rhododendron
  • 2304: Cosmos
  • Interior

    Passenger accommodation consists of transverse seating arranged 2+1 abreast with seat backs that can be flipped over to face the direction of travel, and longitudinal bench seats at the ends of the cars.
