The Tokyo Metro 10000 series (東京メトロ10000系, Tōkyō Metoro 10000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated on the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin subway lines of Tokyo Metro in Japan since 2006.
Design
[edit]The trains are manufactured by Hitachi with aluminium bodies to its "A-train" concept.
The 10000 series was the first new model to be built for the Tokyo Metro following privatization. The front-end design is intended to evoke the appearance of the 300 series trains, which were the first trains used on the Marunouchi Line.[2]
On set numbers 10105 onward, built from 2007, the gold colour line was omitted on the front ends.
Operations
[edit]- Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line (from June 2008)
- Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line (from September 2006)
- Tobu Tojo Line (from September 2006)
- Seibu Yurakucho Line (from February 2007)
- Seibu Ikebukuro Line (from February 2007)
- Tokyu Toyoko Line (from September 2012)
- Minatomirai Line (from September 2012)
The fleet of 10-car sets operates on the Yurakucho and Fukutoshin lines, including inter-running services over the Tobu Tojo Line between Wakōshi Station and Shinrinkōen Station. Also, it services over the Seibu Yurakucho and Ikebukuro Lines between Kotake-mukaihara Station and Hannō Station.
The trains were designed to allow 2 intermediate cars (cars 5 and 6) to be removed easily to create 8-car sets when through-running commences from the Fukutoshin Line to the Tokyu Toyoko Line in 2013. From 7 September 2012, five sets (10101 to 10105) were reformed as 8-car sets to cover a shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets. These sets are identified by the addition of "8 CARS" stickers on the cab windows.[3] They were introduced on Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line services, several months before the planned start of through-running operations.[4] Once the shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets was over these 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.
Formation
[edit]As of 1 April 2015[update], the fleet consists of 36 ten-car sets (numbered 01 to 36), formed as follows, with car 1 at the northern (Wakoshi) end.[5]
| Car No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | CT2 | M2 | M1 | T | TC2 | MC1 | TC1 | MC2 | M1' | CT1 |
| Numbering | 10000 | 10900 | 10800 | 10700 | 10600 | 10500 | 10400 | 10300 | 10200 | 10100 |
Cars 3 and 9 each have two single-arm pantographs, while car 6 has one.[5]
When necessary, the trains can be shortened to eight cars, formed as follows.[1]
| Car No. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | CT2 | M2 | M1 | T | TC1 | MC2 | M1' | CT1 |

History
[edit]
The first set was delivered in May 2006, and entered service on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Tobu Tojo Line in September 2006,[6] allowing four 07 series sets to be transferred to the Tozai Line to replace the remaining 5000 series sets.[1]: 68 10000 series sets entered service on the Seibu Line in February 2007. At the start of Fukutoshin Line services in June 2008, a total of 22 sets had been delivered.[6] And as of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of 36 ten-car sets.
8-car 10000 series sets entered service on the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line from 7 September 2012.[4] These 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.
From April 2016, the original three-colour LED destination indicator panels on some sets were replaced with full-colour LED indicator panels.[7]
