The Hankyu 8200 series (阪急電鉄8200系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated in Japan by the private railway operator Hankyu Railway since 1995.
The 8200 series sets are used during the weekday morning rush hour on the Kobe Main Line to provide additional capacity for Commuter Limited Express and Rapid Express trains,[2] when cumulative congestion can reach 147% during this time.[citation needed] They were also formerly used during the evening rush hour.[2]
As of 1 April 2015[update], the fleet consists of two 2-car sets, formed as follows.[3]
Designation | Mc1 | Tc |
---|---|---|
Type | Mc8200 | Tc8250 |
Numbering | 8200 | 8250 |
The "Mc1" cars are fitted with two single-arm pantographs.[3]
The sets were built with tip-up seats to increase passenger capacity,[1] but these were later replaced with fixed longitudinal seating.[2]
