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.[2]

Description

The Tokyo Metro 08 series was introduced into service in 2003 to increase capacity on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line, which was extended from Suitengumae to Oshiage in March 2003.[1] The train type is used on inter-running services via the Hanzomon Line to the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and the Tobu Isesaki and Nikko Lines.[1] The 08 series was the last new rolling stock type purchased by TRTA before it was privatised the following year.
