The Keisei 3000 series (京成3000形) is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Keisei Electric Railway on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan since 2003.[4] A total of 19 eight-car sets and 29 six-car sets have been built by J-TREC (formerly Tokyu Car Corporation) and Nippon Sharyo between 2002 and 2019.[2]

Operations

[edit]

The eight-car sets are used on inter-running services via the Toei Asakusa Line to and from the Keikyu Main Line.[5]

Seventh-batch eight-car sets (referred to as the 3050 series) are primarily used on the Narita Sky Access Line.[6]

Formations

[edit]

As of 1 April 2016, the fleet consists of 12 eight-car sets (3001, 3026 to 3030, and 3051 to 3056) and 26 six-car sets (3002 to 3025 and 3031 to 3032) formed as shown below.[5] Car 6/8 is at the Narita Airport end.[7]

Livery variations

[edit]

Sets 3051 to 3056 were delivered with a blue airport-access livery.

In 2019, the livery of set 3052 was changed to match that of the then-new Keisei 3100 series trains, with four other 3050 subseries sets scheduled to be re-liveried the same way in the future.[20] Set 3056 remains the last set to obtain the orange scheme.[21]

Starting from December 2019, 3050 subseries trains were re-liveried to match that of the 3000 series fleet, with set 3051 being the first to receive the mainline livery.[22]
