- The two "M2" cars are each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs.[2]
Liveries
When delivered, the 800 series sets were painted in the standard Keikyu livery of vermillion red with white window surrounds, but were later repainted into all-over vermillion red with a white bodyside stripe following the introduction of the 2000 series trains.[1]

History
The fleet underwent life-extension refurbishment between 1994 and 2001.[1] This involved upgrading the train interiors and also forming 6-car sets from the remaining 3-car sets by removing the cab ends and adding gangway connections.[1]
Withdrawals commenced in 2011 following the introduction of new 6-car N1000 series sets.[1]
