Rolling stock

Initially, services were operated using a mixture of rolling stock, including 115 series, 211 series, 215 series (double-deck), E217 series, and E231-1000 series EMUs, but rolling stock was standardized on the E231-1000 series EMUs in 2004, from which date these trains also included two bilevel Green cars. From the start of the new timetable on 14 March 2015, E233-3000 series trainsets were also introduced on Shonan–Shinjuku line services.[1]
