Meitetsu 3300 series

The Meitetsu 3300 series and 3150 series (名鉄3300系・3150系) are commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train types operated by the private railway operator Meitetsu in Japan since 2004.

Design
The 3300 series trains were based on the earlier 300 series trains, which were the first stainless steel body trains to be operated by Meitetsu, although whereas the 300 series trains had 20 m long cars with four pairs of sliding doors per side, the 3300 series have 19 m long cars and three pairs of sliding doors per side.

Formations
, five four-car sets were in operation, formed as shown below, with two motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.


 * The two motored cars are each fitted with one single-arm pantograph.

Interior
Passenger accommodation consists mostly of transverse seating with some longitudinal bench seats.

Special liveries
In January 2015, sets 3303 and 3304 were decorated to mark the 400th anniversary of the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Each car is decorated with vinyls representing the four seasons. The two trains are scheduled to carry these liveries until 31 December 2015.

History
First introduced in 2004, five four-car sets were built by 2005. A sixth set, 3306, was delivered in January 2015. A seventh set, 3307, was delivered in August 2015. This set differs from earlier sets in having the revised livery applied to 3150 series set 3167.

Design
Like the four-car 3300 series trains, the 3150 series trains were based on the earlier 300 series trains, which were the first stainless steel body trains to be operated by Meitetsu, although whereas the 300 series trains had 20 m long cars with four pairs of sliding doors per side, the 3150 series have 19 m long cars and three pairs of sliding doors per side.

Formations
, 16 two-car sets were in operation, formed as shown below, with one driving motored ("Mc") car and one non-powered driving trailer ("Tc") car.


 * The "Mc" car is fitted with one single-arm pantograph.

Interior
Passenger accommodation in the early sets consists mostly of transverse seating with some longitudinal bench seats, while sets 3155 onwards have longitudinal seating throughout.
