The Keio 5000 series (京王電鉄5000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation in the Tokyo area of Japan since 29 September 2017. A total of five ten-car trainsets were built by J-TREC.[2] The trains feature rotating seats that can be arranged longitudinally for daytime services and in forward-facing transverse pairs for reserved-seat commuter services in the evenings which started on 22 February 2018.[2]

Design

The fleet of five ten-car 5000 series trainsets was built by Japan Transport Engineering Company ("J-TREC") at a total cost of approximately JPY10 billion.[3][4]

Formation

The ten-car trains are formed as follows, with six motored ("M") cars and four non-powered trailer ("T") cars, and car 10 at the Shinjuku (eastern) end.[1]
