Background and overview
The 811-100 series second batch of sets were delivered from 1992. They
are externally identical to the existing 811-0 series, with having fixed
transverse seating in order to increase the capacity of the cars and make
boarding and alighting easier and they were classified into -100 subseries.
Some of trailer intermediate cars, class Saha811, are equipped with a Japanese
style toilet and classified into -200 subseries.
Latest operation status
811-100 series are now used on the rapid services and ordinary services
of Kagoshima, Nippo, and Nagasaki lines. Since refurbishment programme
started from 2018, 811-100 series are gradually decreasing. |
