The Odakyu 2000 series (小田急2000形, Odakyū 2000-gata) is a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train operated by the private railway operator Odakyu Electric Railway in the Tokyo area of Japan since March 1995.[3]

Nine 8-car sets in total were manufactured between 1995 and 2001 in three batches. The design was based on the earlier 1000 series sets, with most of the passenger doors widened from 1,300 to 1,600 mm (51 to 63 in) to help reduce station dwell times.[4]

## Formation

[edit]

As of 1 April 2015[update], the fleet consisted of nine 8-car sets, 2051 to 2059, formed as follows with four motored (M) cars and four unpowered trailer (T) cars. Car 8 is at the Shinjuku end.[5]

* Cars 2, 3, and 6, are each equipped with one single-arm pantograph.[5]
* The door closest to the driver's cab of both lead cars is (1,300 mm (51 in)) wide, while the rest are (1,600 mm (63 in)) wide.[5]
* The end cars, 1 and 8, have a wheelchair space.[5]
* Car 2 is designated as a mildly-air-conditioned car.[5]

## History

[edit]

The trains were delivered between January 1995 and April 2001, with the first trains entering revenue service on 8 March 1995.[4] These sets are only used for Local services.

In 2009, set 2052 received full-colour LED destination displays.[6]

Set 2051 received an altered blue waistline stripe in 2012.[7] As of October 2024,[update] the revised colour scheme has been applied to the entire 2000 series fleet except for set 2059.[8]
