The Kyoto Municipal Subway 10 series (京都市交通局10系電車), is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the Kyoto Municipal Subway in Kyoto, Japan, since 1981.

Overview

[edit]

The 10 series was introduced in 1981 with nine four-car sets built to coincide with the opening of the Karasuma Line between Kyoto and Kitaoji stations.[2] By 1997, the line was extended south to Takeda Station and north to Kokusaikaikan Station. These extensions were accompanied by an additional 84 cars spread over five batches.[1]

Formations

[edit]

Four-car sets

[edit]

Nine four car sets were introduced for the opening of the initial section on the Karasuma Line between Kyōto Station and Kitaōji Station in May 1981.[2]

Six-car sets

[edit]

Starting from the third batch in 1988, all trains were lengthened to six-car trains. This was done to supplement the opening of an extension between Kyoto Station and Takeda Station.[3]
