Refurbishment

Marunouchi Line 02-102 Korakuen 20100305

The 02 series fleet is undergoing major refurbishment, with the first treated trains returning to service from February 2010. Refurbishment includes the use of new Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as fitted to the new Chiyoda Line 16000 series trains, offering energy savings of approximately 10%. Internally, pairs of 17-inch LCD passenger information monitors are installed above the passenger doors. The interior is finished in a pale salmon pink colour reminiscent of the original 300 series trains used on the line, and externally, a white "sine wave" design has been added to the red bodyside stripes, again reminiscent of the 300 series livery.Tokyo Metro press release
