History

[edit]

The six-car trainsets were formed in 2008 by combining two cars from former 1600 series limited express EMUs with four newly built 2300 series commuter cars. The trains entered service from the start of the revised timetable on 27 December 2008.[3]

The fleet was reliveried from August 2015, starting with set 1701.[4]

1700 series cars being hauled for scrap in February 2021

Withdrawals of the 1700 series commenced in 2019. The four sets of 2300 series cars were used to form four 2200 series six-car sets. These sets, numbered 2231 to 2234, use two newly built limited express cars and four 2300 series cars originally used with the 1700 series sets.[5] The first of these sets to be formed, 2234, entered service in February 2020, using the 2300 series cars from 1700 series set 1704.[6]

All 1700 series limited express cars were scrapped by February 2021.[7]
