The E233 series (E233系) is a commuter and suburban electric multiple unit (EMU) train type developed by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) from the earlier E231 series and the E531 series design. The first train was introduced in December 2006 for use on the Chūō Line (Rapid), followed by the E233-1000 series variant in 2007 for use on the Keihin-Tohoku and Negishi lines, the E233-3000 series outer-suburban variant in December 2007 for use on the Tokaido Main Line, and narrow-bodied E233-2000 series variant for Joban Line and Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line inter-running services. Further variants were built for use on the Saikyō Line, Yokohama Line, and Nambu Line.

Design

The E233 series, according to the October 2005 press release, features two identical sets of the main equipment in case of failure. This is the first JR East stock to feature such backup measures. The E233 series provides for better accessibility for the disabled, and is designed to be more comfortable to ride overall than previous stock. The height between the platform and the train was reduced from the 80 mm (3.1 in) of the 201 and 209 series to 30 mm (1.2 in). Seats are 460 mm (18 in) wide, compared to the 430 mm (17 in) of the 201 series and 450 mm (18 in) of the 209 series. For standing passengers the handle straps have been lowered by 50 mm compared to older train models.

This stock also features an air filtration system to remove unpleasant smells. It also features liquid crystal display information screens and automatic announcement system similar to those used on the E231 series rolling stock on the Yamanote Line.

The stock is the first JR East stock to use full-colour LEDs for the destination indicators on the sides of the carriages. This is due to the fact that the Chuo Line has numerous types of services, and colour-coding will help passengers board the correct train.

The first E233-0 series train was introduced in December 2006 for use on the Chūō Main Line, Ōme, and Itsukaichi lines, replacing the aging 201 series trains. The entire fleet of 688 E233 series vehicles (10-car x 42, 6-car x 28, 4-car x 25) was delivered by the end of March 2008.[3] 4+6-car sets are used on the Ōme Line and Itsukaichi Line.

An additional five cars were built at JR East's Niitsu factory in 2009 to replace five cars from six-car set Ao661 withdrawn due to accident damage in 2008.

In 2017, six-car set Ao670 was modified to become E233-8500 series set N36 for use on the Nambu Line alongside the fleet of E233-8000 series sets.[4]

Future developments

JR East plans to add two bilevel Green (first class) cars to ten-car and six-car E233-0 series EMU sets operated on the Chuo Line (Rapid) and Ome Line from fiscal 2021 or later.[5] The Green cars will be positioned as cars 4 and 5 in the newly formed 12- and 8-car sets.[6]

A fleet of 83 ten-car E233 series sets was introduced on the Keihin-Tohoku and Negishi lines from autumn 2007, replacing the 209 series EMUs previously used from 1993 until 2010. The first set was delivered in August 2007. The main difference over the earlier E233-0 series is the absence of passenger door controls.

The first set entered service on 22 December 2007.[7]

Two cars of set 177, KuHa E233-1077 and SaHa E233-1277, were involved in a derailment in February 2014 and were scrapped in December 2016.[8] The remaining eight cars of set 177 were scrapped in April 2018.[9]

This is a narrow-bodied variant for Joban Line and Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line inter-running services, replacing the 203 series and 207-900 series EMUs previously used.[10] The first ten-car set was delivered to Matsudo Depot from Tokyu Car Corporation in May 2009.[11] It entered service on 9 September 2009.[7] These trains have also been used on inter-running services on Odakyu lines since 2016.[citation needed] In 2017 was delivered the last set number 19 built by J-TREC.

The floor height is lowered to 1,130 mm (44 in) for improved accessibility, compared to 1,200 mm (47 in) for the earlier 203 series and 1,180 mm (46 in) for the 207-900 series and 209-1000 series trains.[12]

Seats on the lower deck and end saloons have crimson moquette seat covers, and seats on the upper deck have dark blue moquette.[18]

The first 10+5-car E233-3000 series outer suburban set (E01 + E51) for use on the Tokaido Main Line was delivered from the Tokyu Car factory in Yokohama to Kōzu Depot in November 2007. This includes two bilevel Green cars.[19] It entered revenue service on 10 March 2008, and was initially limited to use on the Tokaido Main Line between Tokyo and Atami.[20] The second set (10+5-car set E02 + E52) was delivered in February 2010.[21]

Subsequent sets (originally numbered NT1 + NT51 onward) were delivered to Tamachi Depot from September 2011, entering service from 12 November 2011.[17] These sets incorporate a number of minor changes, including moving the second reserve pantograph from car 7 to car 3, and the addition of a toilet in car 6.[16]

Takasaki-based ten- and five-car sets were introduced on Takasaki Line services between Ueno and Maebashi, replacing 211 series sets, and on Ryomo Line services from 1 September 2012.[22]
