The Seibu 30000 series (西武30000系?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Seibu Railway on commuter services in the Tokyo area of Japan since April 2008, replacing older 3-door 101 series and 301 series sets.[1] It is nicknamed the "Smile Train".[2]

Design

Sets are formed as 2-, 8-, and 10-car units, consisting of aluminium wide-bodied (2,930 mm) 20 m long 4-door cars with no end gangway doors.[2] 6-car sets were also scheduled to be built by fiscal 2011, but, as of April 2015, none has been delivered.[1][3]

Fleet

As of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of four ten-car sets, 16 eight-car sets, and six two-car sets, based at Kotesashi, Minami-Iriso, Musashigaoka, and Tamagawa-Josui depots for use on Seibu Shinjuku Line and Seibu Ikebukuro Line workings.[3]

Sets built from fiscal 2013 feature LED lighting and transparent overhead luggage racks in place of the earlier stainless steel pipe racks.[4] A further two ten-car sets and one eight-car set are scheduled to be built during fiscal 2015.[5]
