Description
The Tokyo Metro 08 series was introduced into service on 7 January 2003 to increase capacity on the Hanzomon Line, ahead of its extension from Suitengumae to Oshiage in March of that year.[3][1] The train type is also used on through services to the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and the Tobu Isesaki and Nikko Lines.[1] The 08 series was the last new rolling stock type purchased by TRTA before it was privatised the following year.[4]
