The Tokyo Monorail 10000 series (東京モノレール10000形 Tōkyō Monorēru 10000-gata?) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since July 2014.[1]
Design
The body design is based on the earlier 2000 series trains first built in 1997, and uses friction stir welded (FSW) aluminium alloy panels.[2]
Formation
Trains are formed as six-car sets, as shown below, with four motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[1] Car 1 is at the Hamamatsucho end.[1]

Interior
Passenger accommodation consists of a mixture of facing 4-seat bays and longitudinal bench seating, and includes luggage racks next to the doorways.[2] The seats are covered in a blue moquette incorporating the traditional Japanese seigaiha (青海波?) pattern.[2] LED lighting is used throughout.[2] Passenger information is provided by 7-inch wide LCD displays above the doorways.[2] Information is provided in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Initially one screen is provided above each doorway, but provision is made for installing a second screen in the future.[2]
History
The first set, 10011, was delivered to Tokyo Monorail's Showajima Depot in March 2014.[3] It entered revenue service on 18 July 2014.[4]
