WR61 set

0 series built from 1981 featured the upgraded accommodation, which was similar to that of 200 series and were classified into -2000 sub-series. Simple reclining seats, which are two-position "slide-and-recline" type, was fitted, with increased pitch (980 mm in standard class) compared to the previous 0 series. The window frame molded with FRP was similar to that of the airliner. No restaurant cars classified into -2000 sub-series were provided.
After the splitting of the former Japanese National Railways (JNR) into
the new privatized JR companies in April 1987, JR West delivered the refurbished
0 series featuring 2+2 abreast seating, and classified into -2000 sub-series.
These vehicles entered "West Hikari" services linking Shin-Osaka
and Hakata. The other 0 series vehicles were refurbished with new internal
trim, rotating seats and new toilets/washing facilities. 0 series used
on "West Hikari" services were displaced with 700-7000 series
in 2000. Surplus 0-7000 series gradually replaced the remaining unrefurbished
0 series vehicles used on "Kodama" services.
Although 0-2000 series were used on "Kodama" services after withdrawing
"Hikari" services, 0-2000 series were gradually displaced with
100 series vehicles. Refurbished 0 series were repainted into the new JR
West Kodama livery since May 2002. But the last three remaining sets (R61/67/68)
were repainted into their original ivory and blue livery. They were withdrawn
in November, 2008. |
