The 1000 series is used mainly on Nankai Line commuter services singly or coupled with 8000 series or 8300 series EMUs. 12 vehicles (one each of a two-car, four-car and six-car sets) are allocated for service on the Koya line.[1]

As of June 2020, the fleet consists of six two-car sets (1001 to 1010), one four-car set (1051), and ten six-car sets (1031 to 1036). All the "Tc" and "Tc1" cars are at the Osaka-Namba end. The sets are formed as follows.[1]

The first half of the 2-car sets, 1031 to 1033, were part of the first batch which was completed in 1992.

History

These trains are the second rendition of the 1000 series. The original 1000 series, renumbered to the 11001 series in their later years, were all scrapped by 1987.

The sets were refurbished between 2017 and 2020. Works included upgrades to passenger display information and installation of multi-language LCD screens above the car doors inside the trains.
