The 227 series 1000 series is a two-car suburban direct current train that began operating in 2019 with the aim of improving safety and service levels, replacing the old Japanese National Railways type vehicles that were often used in the Wakayama area.
It is characterized by a green-based coloring that "expresses the depth of culture, history, and nature common to the Nara and Wakayama areas in which it travels."
The exterior is similar to the 227 series 0 series, but there are changes in various parts to suit the operating mode, such as a door opening/closing guide indicator next to the side sliding door and a long seat inside the car.
It is active in regional transportation on the Wakayama Line, Manyo Mahoroba Line (Sakurai Line), and Kinokuni Line (Kise Main Line).
We will simultaneously commercialize an SD formation equipped with two pantographs and an SR formation equipped with one pantograph. You can enjoy driving multiple formations connected like the actual vehicle and co-starring with vehicles active in the Kansai region such as the 287 series.
