The Kintetsu 5800 series (近鉄5800系), nicknamed the "L/C car", is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Railway on standard gauge (1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)) commuter services in the Kansai area since 1998. [2]
The series won the Laurel Prize in 1998 by the Japan Railfan Club for having the most innovative features for trains entering service that year. [3]
Perpendicular seating has long been provided on long-distance services on the Osaka and Nagoya lines. [1] In previous Kintetsu 2600 series trainsets and related counterparts, fixed perpendicular seats were a common feature on these services. However, passengers complained about their lack of comfort. [4]
In the early to mid-1990s, the railway began experimenting with seats that could change between longitudinal (perimeter) and transverse (row) seating configurations. In January 1996, A 4-car 2600 series set would be retrofitted with rotating seats. [1] During peak hours, the seats would be configured in the transverse configuration and then switch to longitudinal configuration during off-peak hours. [1] By March of that year, the experiment was deemed a success and the feature would be implemented onto trains being ordered for the long-distance services. [4]
The 5800 series trainsets would enter service in 1998 on the Osaka and Nagoya lines. [2] One 4-car train and seven 6-car trains would be produced. These would also be the last trainsets to feature the signature conventional body design introduced in 1984, as Kintetsu would switch to a new body and livery starting with the 21 series introduced in 2000.
The series is the first[ clarification needed] to be delivered with rotating longitudinal/transverse seating. Other private railways such as Tobu, Keikyu, Keio, and Seibu would later implement rotating longitudinal/transverse seating on future rolling stock additions.
As of 2021, the seat configuration on all Kintetsu trains equipped with rotating seats is dependent on the line and time of day. [1]
As of 1 April 2016 [update], the fleet consists of seven six-car sets and one four-car set, formed as follows. [2]
The lone four-car set is allocated to Tomiyoshi Depot. [5]
