Tokyo Metro 01 series

The Tokyo Metro 01 series (東京メトロ01系, Tōkyō Metoro 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.

History

The TRTA 01 series won the 1985 Laurel Prize from the Japan Railfan Club.

From 1990 until 1995, sets 01 to 23 were retrofitted with Mitsubishi Electric CU-741 air-conditioning units originally designed for the similarly smaller loading gauge 70 series trains of the Osaka Municipal Subway Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line. These sets were initially built without air conditioning as the restricted loading gauge of the Ginza Line made installation of then-available conventional air-conditioning units impossible. Sets 24 to 38 were built from the start with similar air-conditioning units.

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The 01 series trains began to be replaced by new 1000 series trains from spring 2012.[4] The first set to be withdrawn, set 38, was removed for scrapping in August 2013.[3] By 1 April 2016, nine sets remained in service.[1] The last remaining 01 series train was withdrawn from regular service on 10 March 2017, with a special commemorative final run for invited guests on 12 March.[5]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

Three cars of former set 1 (01-101, 01-201, and 01-601), withdrawn from revenue service in 2013, are kept for training purposes at Nakano Depot in Tokyo.[9]

The cab end of car 01-129 is preserved inside the Metro Museum in Edogawa, Tokyo.[10]

Car 01-630 was donated to the University of Tokyo's Institute of Industrial Science Chiba Experiment Station in Chiba Prefecture in 2017 for use on its 333 m long research test track.[11]

gollark: What? Why?
gollark: What matters is what time stuff actually happens, and the time of day that happens at depends on cultural attitudes.
gollark: That was not possible anyway.
gollark: They didn't anyway.
gollark: We should switch to UTC because servers and stuff are all on UTC already.
