Interior[edit]

History[edit]

The 6-car trainsets were built from 2004, and consist of two limited express configuration cars based on the 2000 series EMUs together with four 2300 series commuter-configured cars with three pairs of doors per side.[2] The trains entered service from 29 January 2005.[3]

Two more six-car sets were built in fiscal 2015.[4]

2230 subseries[edit]

Following the withdrawal of the 1700 series, four additional six-car sets were formed from 2019. Numbered 2231 to 2234, these sets are formed of two limited express cars that were built from new and four 2300 series cars that were originally used with the 1700 series.[citation needed] The first 2230 subseries set to be formed, numbered 2234, entered service in February 2020, using the 2300 series cars from 1700 series set 1704.[5]
