The Tokyo Metro 01 series (東京地下鉄01系 Tōkyō Chikatetsu 01-kei?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo subway operator Tokyo Metro on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway in Tokyo, Japan, since 1983. A total of 38 six-car trainsets were introduced from 1983. It was the recipient of the 25th Laurel Prize of the Japan Railfan Club in 1985. A total of 228 cars were built from 1983 to 1997 in five batches.
These trains use a Train Automatic Stopping Controller (TASC) system allowing them to automatically stop at stations.
As of 1 April 2016[update], the fleet consists of 19 six-car sets, formed as shown below, with three motored (M) cars and three non-powered trailer (T) cars, and car 1 at the Shibuya end.
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout. Each car has priority seats at one end, and wheelchair spaces are provided in car 2 and 5 in sets 32 onward.
In 2007, car 01-238 of set 38 was experimentally fitted with permanent-magnet synchronous motors. From January 2011, the four intermediate cars of set 38 were experimentally fitted with LED lighting.
The 01 series trains began to be replaced by new 1000 series trains from spring 2012. The first set to be withdrawn, set 38, was removed for scrapping in August 2013. By 1 April 2016, nine sets remained in service. The last remaining 01 series trains are scheduled to be withdrawn on 10 March 2017.
In February 2015, driving cars 01-136 and 01-636 were sold to the Kumamoto Electric Railway in Kyushu and were also regauged to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), where they became the Kumamoto Electric Railway 01 series, entering service in March 2015 following the addition of pantographs and new bogies. Two more cars, 01-135 and 01-635, are scheduled to be sold to the Kumamoto Electric Railway during fiscal 2015.
