The Tokyo Metro 08 series (東京メトロ08系, Tōkyō Metoro 08-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated on the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line in Tokyo, Japan since 2003. Introduced into service on 7 January 2003, a total of six ten-car trainsets were manufactured by Nippon Sharyo between 2002 and 2003 to augment the 8000 series trains following the extension to Oshiage.
Description
The Tokyo Metro 08 series was introduced into service on 7 January 2003 to increase capacity on the Hanzomon Line, ahead of its extension from Suitengumae to Oshiage in March of that year. The train type is also used on through services to the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and the Tobu Isesaki and Nikko Lines. The 08 series was the last new rolling stock type purchased by TRTA before it was privatised the following year.
Formations
As of 1 April 2017, the fleet consists of six ten-car sets, numbered 51 to 56, formed as shown below, with five motored (M) cars and five trailer (T) cars. Car 1 is at the Oshiage end.
