The Tokyo Metro 01 series (東京地下鉄01系, Tōkyō Chikatetsu 01-kei) was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway in Tokyo, Japan, from 1983 until March 2017. A total of 38 six-car trainsets (228 cars) were built between 1983 and 1997 in five batches, and the design received the 25th Laurel Prize of the Japan Railfan Club in 1985.

The trains used a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to automatically stop at stations.

Formations

The six-car sets were formed as shown below, with three motored (M) cars and three non-powered trailer (T) cars, and car 1 at the Shibuya end.[1]

Car No.123456
Designation CT1MTM'MCT2
Numbering 01-1xx01-2xx01-3xx01-4xx01-5xx01-6xx

Interior

Passenger accommodation consisted of longitudinal bench seating throughout. Each car had priority seats at one end, and wheelchair spaces were provided in car 2 and 5 in sets 32 onward.[2]

History

In 2007, car 01-238 of set 38 was experimentally fitted with permanent-magnet synchronous motors.[3] From January 2011, the four intermediate cars of set 38 were experimentally fitted with LED lighting.[3]

Withdrawal

Car 01-121 being cut up in March 2014

The 01 series trains began to be replaced by new 1000 series trains from spring 2012.[4] The first set to be withdrawn, set 38, was removed for scrapping in August 2013.[3] By 1 April 2016, nine sets remained in service.[1] The last remaining 01 series train was withdrawn from regular service on 10 March 2017, with a special commemorative final run for invited guests on 12 March.[5]

Resale

Former 01 series cars 01-135 and 01-635 as a Kumamoto Electric Railway 01 series in May 2016

In February 2015, driving cars 01-136 and 01-636 were sold to the Kumamoto Electric Railway in Kyushu and were also regauged to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in),[6] where they became the Kumamoto Electric Railway 01 series, entering service in March 2015 following the addition of pantographs and new bogies.[7] Two more cars, 01-135 and 01-635, were sold to the Kumamoto Electric Railway during fiscal 2015.[8]
