The Tokyu 1000 series (東急1000系 Tōkyū 1000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation on the Ikegami and Tamagawa lines in Japan since 1988.[1]
Design
Based on the earlier Tokyu 9000 series design, the 1000 series trains were built for use on through-running services to and from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line subway.[1] Cars are 18 metres long and have three pairs of doors per side.[1]
Operations
3-car sets have operated on the Tokyu Ikegami Line since 1993.[1] 4-car sets were formerly operated on the Tokyu Mekama Line (present-day Tokyu Tamagawa Line and Tokyu Meguro Line), and 8-car formations formerly operated on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, with through-running to and from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line subway. The former were reformed as three-car sets, and the latter were taken out of use from 15 March 2013.[1] From May 2014, former 8-car Tokyu Toyoko Line sets were reformed into 3-car sets and refurbished for use on the Tokyu Tamagawa Line and Tokyu Meguro Line, reclassified as 1000-1500 series.[2]
Formations
3-car sets
As of 1 April 2013, the fleet consisted of nine 3-car sets, formed as follows, with two motored ("M") cars and one non-powered trailer ("T") car, and car 1 at the Gotanda/Tamagawa end.[3]

Cars 3, 5, and 7 were each fitted with a lozenge-type pantograph.[4] Cars 2 and 7 included wheelchair spaces.[4]
Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal seating throughout, with a mixture of brown and orange seat moquette.[1] The 1000-1500 series sets formed from 2014 have light green seat moquette and a wheelchair space added in the 160x cars.[2]
History
Initially introduced on the Tokyu Toyoko Line from 1988, they were also introduced on the Mekama Line from 1991. These were transferred to the Ikegami Line from 1992, and further new trains were built for the Ikegami Line in 1993.[1] The last set delivered, 1024, was the Tokyu EMU to built with a wheelchair space.[1] The Ikegami Line fleet underwent modifications in 1998 for use on wanman driver only operation services.[1]
Withdrawal and resale
Withdrawals started in 2008, with some cars being resold to the Ueda Electric Railway and the Iyo Railway.[1] Some 1000 series intermediate cars were also sold to the Ichibata Electric Railway, which became two-car 1000 series sets with the addition of new cab ends, entering service on 9 February 2015.[5]
