● Item Introduction

The E231 series 500 series, which was active on the Yamanote Line, was transferred to the Chūō-Sōbu Local Line when the E235 series was introduced. It now operates on the Chūō-Sōbu Local Line in a 10-car configuration with one less car. The train has been given a fresh look with the familiar yellow line color of the Sōbu Local Line. Additionally, it is now equipped with external speakers, and has received updates to its control equipment and platform position detection system.

◆ You can enjoy it alongside other rolling stock operating on the Chūō-Sōbu Local Line and Sōbu Rapid Line.

◆ The new product features a slotless motor for quieter and smoother operation. This change results in updates to the model number, price, and JAN code. Other specifications remain unchanged from the previous product.
