The Odakyu 2000 series (小田急2000形, Odakyū 2000-gata) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway in the Tokyo area of Japan since March 1995.

Contents

A total of nine 8-car sets were manufactured between 1995 and 2001 in three batches. The design was based on the earlier 1000 series sets, with some of the passenger doors increased in width from 1,300 to 1,600 mm (4 ft 3 in to 5 ft 3 in) to help reduce station dwell times.

Formation

As of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of nine 8-car sets, 2051 to 2059, formed as follows with four motored (M) cars and four unpowered trailer (T) cars. Car 8 is at the Shinjuku end.

  • Cars 2, 3, and 6, are each equipped with one single-arm pantograph.
  • Cars 2, 3, 6, and 7 have wider (1,600 mm) doorways.
  • The end cars, 1 and 8, have a wheelchair space.
  • Car 2 is designated as a mildly-air-conditioned car.
  • History

    The trains were delivered between January 1995 and April 2001, with the first trains entering revenue service on 8 March 1995.
