Overview

edit

Based on the 9000 series and 9300 series EMUs first introduced in 2003, the 8-car 1300 series trains are manufactured by Hitachi and have aluminium alloy bodies with a double-skin construction.[2] Externally, the trains are finished in the standard Hankyu colour scheme of all-over maroon.[2]

Formation

edit

The eight-car trains are formed as shown below, with four motored (M) cars and four non-powered trailer (T) cars, and car 1 at the Umeda end.[3][4]
