The Tokyo Metro 7000 series (東京メトロ7000系, Tōkyō Metoro 7000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro in Tokyo, Japan, since 1974. The design is based on the earlier Tokyo Metro 6000 series trains used on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line.

History

7000 series set 7134 in original Yurakucho Line livery on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in March 2008

The sets originally sported a yellow bodyside line when used on Yurakucho Line services, but were gradually reliveried with brown, gold, and white stripes coinciding with use on Fukutoshin Line services. The remaining 7000 series sets will be replaced by the 17000 series.

Overseas operations

A 7000 series set 7117 operated in Jakarta, Indonesia

Four 7000 series ten-car sets (7117, 7121, 7122, and 7123) were shipped to Indonesia in 2010 for use on suburban services operated by Kereta Commuter Indonesia (previously called "KA Commuter Jabodetabek" or "KRL Jabodetabek") in Jakarta.[2] The four sets were reduced to eight-car formations and are formed as follows, based at Depok Depot.[2]

7100 (CT1) 7200 (T2) 7300 (M1) 7400 (M2') 7500 (Tc1) 7600 (Tc2) 7900 (M1) 7000 (CM2)

The two M1 cars in each set are equipped with two pantographs.[2]

Accidents and incidents

On 9 December 2013, set 7121 (KRL 1131) collided with a Pertamina tank truck at a level crossing at the Bintaro Permai intersection on the Rangkasbitung Line near Bintaro, South Tangerang, Indonesia, leading to 7 deaths and 45 injuries. The front two carriages of set 7121 as well as the tank truck were both destroyed in the ensuing fire.[3][4] Set 7121 was scrapped in December 2014.[5]
