The Tokyo Monorail 1000 series (東京モノレール1000形, Tōkyō Monorēru 1000-gata) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since 1989. [1]

Overview

The 1000 series trains were introduced from 1989 to replace earlier non-air-conditioned rolling stock and to provide increased capacity with the expansion and relocation of the terminal building at Haneda Airport. [1]

Formation

As of 1 April 2016, the fleet consists of 13 six-car sets (numbered 1001 to 1091) as shown below, with all cars motored. [2] Car 1 is at the Hamamatsucho end.

Car No. 1 2 3 4 5 6
Designation Mc1 M2 M1' M2' M1 Mc2
Numbering 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000

Interior

Passenger accommodation consists of a mixture of facing 4-seat bays. [1]

History

The fleet of 16 trainsets was delivered between 1989 and 1996 in eight batches, batches 16 to 23, with differing seating configurations. [1] The first set was delivered on 5 June 1989, with the last set delivered by 10 June 1996. [3]

In 2002, the fleet was modified for wanman driver-only operation. [1] In 2004, LED destination indicators were added to the sides of the trains, coinciding with the introduction of limited-stop "Rapid" services on the line. [1] A programme of life-extension refurbishment was subsequently implemented, including new seat moquette. [1] As of March 2014, five sets have been treated. [1]

Livery variations

Originally delivered in a livery of black with red and white, the 1000 series trains were repainted from 2000 into a new livery of black, blue, orange, and white. [1] A number of "revival" livery variations subsequently appeared, with set 1019 receiving a light blue and white "100 series style" livery in 2003, set 1085 receiving the original 1000 series style black with red and white livery in 2013, and set 1049 receiving a red with white "500 series style" livery in 2014. [1] Set 1091 received a new livery of white with lime green, light blue and navy blue in 2015, followed by sets 1043 and 1061 in 2016 and 2019 respectively. [4]

Awards

The 1000 series trains received the Japanese Good Design Award in 1990. [1]
