The Keio 5000 series (京王電鉄5000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keio Corporation in the Tokyo area of Japan since 29 September 2017. A total of six ten-car trainsets were built by J-TREC.[3] The trains feature rotating seats that can be arranged longitudinally for daytime services and in forward-facing transverse pairs for reserved-seat Keio Liner commuter services in the evenings which started on 22 February 2018.[3]

Design

Designed by Kazuhiko Saito and Taro Shiono, the Keio 5000 series is designed to be used in a broad range of scenarios by pursuing high degrees of ride quality.[1] The interior features motifs inspired by the trees of Mount Takao.[1] The train type was a recipient of the Good Design Award in 2017.[1]

Formation

The ten-car trains are formed as follows, with six motored ("M") cars and four non-powered trailer ("T") cars, and car 10 at the Shinjuku (eastern) end.[2]

Interior

Passenger accommodation consists of rotating pairs of seats that can be arranged in longitudinal configuration for regular daytime services or in transverse forward-facing configuration for reserved-seat evening commuter services from Shinjuku in Tokyo to Keio Hachioji and Hashimoto.[4] LED lighting is used in the interiors, and pairs of LCD passenger information screens are provided both above the doorways and suspended from the ceilings.[5] Free WiFi and AC power sockets are provided.[5] Space for wheelchairs and pushchairs are provided in each car.[5]

History

Details of the new trains were officially announced in March 2016.[5] Between April and May 2017, Keio held a public poll to choose the brand name for the new reserved-seat services starting in spring 2018.[3] The name Keio Liner was announced on 24 January 2018, chosen from the following five candidates.[6]

  1. Keio Liner (京王ライナー)
  2. Keio Smart Liner (京王スマートライナー)
  3. Keio Prime Liner (京王プライムライナー)
  4. Luxpress
  5. Westar

The fleet of five ten-car 5000 series trainsets was built by Japan Transport Engineering Company ("J-TREC") at a total cost of approximately JPY10 billion.[4][5]

The first trainset was delivered to Wakabadai Depot from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in late June 2017,[7] and unveiled to the media on 19 July 2017.[8] It entered revenue service on 29 September 2017.[9] The fifth set was in service by January 2018.[10]

Reserved-seat Keio Liner services from Shinjuku Station commenced on 22 February 2018.[11] Inbound Keio Liner trains to Shinjuku will begin on 22 February 2019.[12]

The order of a sixth set was announced in April 2019.[13] The set was delivered in December 2019.[14]

Future plans

Keio plans to upgrade the seats on the 5000 series to include a reclining function. The program aims to begin revenue operation later in 2022.[15]

The updated seating was installed on a new 7th set. This new set, 5737, debuted on 24 December 2022.[16]
