Keihan 7000 series

The Keihan 7000 series (京阪7000系) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 1989.

Overview
The 7000 series was introduced in 1989 with two six-car sets and one four-car set. The remaining nine cars would be built between 1991 and 1993.

In 1993, three test 6000 series vehicles would be renumbered and incorporated into a fourth seven-car set.

These trains would be the basis for the 7000 series introduced in 1992.

Between 2006 and 2008, the sets received accessibility upgrades, such as wheelchair spaces.

A refurbishment programme for the 7000 series fleet was announced in January 2024. The refurbishment includes a redesigned interior based on that of the 13000 series, audible door warnings, internal LCD information displays, LED lighting, and updated control equipment, as well as full-colour LED destination displays. The first treated set, 7002, returned to service on 21 January of that year. The entire fleet is scheduled to be refurbished by 2025.

Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating throughout.
