Establishing the four-door suburban style! E217 series on the Yokosuka-Sobu Rapid Line

The E217 series was introduced in 1994 as a vehicle for the Yokosuka-Sobu Rapid Line. Until then, three-door suburban trains were the norm, but the E217 series features a four-door lightweight stainless steel body, just like the 209 series that appeared at the same time. The design of the high driver's cab with a crushable zone in the leading car was inherited by the E231-1000 series, E233 series, and E235 series that appeared later. When the equipment was updated in 2008, the color scheme of the stripes was changed, and the bogie yaw dampers on the green cars were subsequently removed, and the train continues to be used today along with its successor, the E235-1000 series.
