The Arikawa Green-Orange Limited 8000 series is an electric multiple unit that formerly operated on Arashiyama Line and Abeno Line, and currently operated by PNR in the Philippines and CityRail in Australia.

History
When 8000 and 8001 were first built in 1984, they were finished in "sage cream" livery following the opening of Abeno Line. Sets 8002 and onward were built for Arashiyama and Abeno Line services, finishing painting each with "sage cream" (Abeno Line) and "LMS Red" (Arashiyama Line). From 1990, all sets each get a orange stripe for Abeno Line and red stripe for Arashiyama Line. In 1997, 8004 and 8006 can work with 8500 series as the decision to run only 14-car sets on the Limited Express services.

Withdrawal and Resale
Withdrawals begin in 2003 and the 8000 series was replaced by 5050 series.
