381-1000eries -0 subseries -1000 subseries Type index
	The tilting device of 381 series EMUs, which used on "Kounotori" and "Kinosaki" intercity services, was out of use and not able to ensure the smooth ride characteristics because tilting operation brings bad influence to the ground equipment. JR West examined the improvement of the ride characteristics of 381 series and found that the limited tilting angle improve the ride characteristics and reduce the bad influence to the ground equipment. As the result, the tilting angle of 381 series EMUs used on the "Kounotori" and "Kinosaki" intercity services was changed from 5 degree to 3 degree. Remodeled 381 series EMUs were classified into -1000 sub-series. Although 381-1000 series were used on "Kounotori" intercity services linking Osaka and Kinosaki-Onsen and "Kinosaki" intercity services linking Kyoto and Kinosaki-Onsen, they were displaeced with 287 series and 289 series. All 381-1000 series vehicles were withdrawn in 2015.
