History

Twelve 3-car trains were converted in 1986 from former JNR 101 series commuter EMUs. Conversion included the addition of a second pantograph on the DeHa 1000 cars and the inclusion of a luggage area at the cab ends separated by a curtain arrangement.^[2]

The trains were modified for wanman driver only operation from December 1999.^[2]
