Another line in need…

In the early 2000s, the Joban Line (or atleast the DC-only “Rapid” section from Ueno to Toride) wasn’t much changed from the mid-1960s, as the rolling stock on the line was essentially composed by the 103 Series (introduced in 1967, but of 1963 design) and the AC/DC multivoltage 415 Series of 1965 (with the excepiton of the four 10+5-car sets of the AC/DC multivoltage E501 Series of 1995).

A replacement was urgently needed for the 103 Series, so in 2002 the Joban Line became the second to recieve the brand-new E231-0 Series trains (the first being the Chuo-Sobu Line), and the first to use them on skip-stop rapid services.

Manufactured by JR East’s own Niitsu Works, a total of 17 10-car sets and 19 5-car sets were introduced on the line between 2002 and 2005, replacing the 103 Series by 2006.

In 2017, several cars from two former Chuo-Sobu Line sets were used to create two new 10-car sets for the Joban Line, bringing the total to nineteen 10+5-car sets.

Formerly terminating at Ueno, with the opening of the Ueno-Tokyo connector line in 2015, some Joban Line trough-service E231-0 Series trains now terminate at Shinagawa station.

At present there are no plans to replace the E231-0 Series on Joban Line duties.
