Description

The E231 Series used on the Joban Line was introduced from 2002 as a replacement for the 103 Series. These trains work Joban Line and Ueno-Tokyo Line services, with 10-car and 5-car formations that can operate together as 15-car commuter trains.

The body carries the Joban Line blue-green stripe, with an additional green stripe to help distinguish the rapid-service train from local-line stock. This is the powered basic set and provides the core of the formation.
