The Tokyu 3020 series (東急3020系, Tōkyū 3020-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in Japan for services on the Tokyu Meguro Line.

Design

The 3020 series trains share a common design with the Tokyu 2020 series and Tokyu 6020 series trains used on the Den-en-toshi Line and Ōimachi Line.[1]

Formation

The trains are operated as six-car sets.[1] They were built as eight-car sets, but two cars per train will be stored until 2022, when platform doors are extended to fit 8-car trains as part of Tokyu Corporation's strategy to cope with high demand on the Meguro Line and for the opening of the Sōtetsu Tōkyū Link Line.[2] During trial runs the six-car set was formed as follows.[3]

Car 1 2 3 4 5 6
Designation Kuha 3122 Deha 3222 Deha 3322 Deha 3622 Deha 3722 Kuha 3822

Interior

Passenger accommodation consists of high-back seating.[1] The trains are also fitted with security cameras and air purifiers.[4]

History

On March 26, 2019 Tokyu Corporation announced the introduction of new 3020 series trains on their Meguro Line.[1] The first set of eight cars was delivered in April 2019.[5] A second set of eight cars was transferred from J-TREC in Yokohama to Nagatsuta in May 2019.[6] Trial runs on the Den-en-toshi Line began in June 2019.[3]

The first 3020 series set entered revenue service on January 5, 2020.[citation needed]
