History
editConstruction began in 1971 and resumed until 1973.[5] Internally, the trains were fitted with color TVs. With the introduction of the Keihan 8000 series from 1989, the 3000 series trains were gradually replaced.[6] A bi-level car was added to a 3000 series set in 1995.[2] After the introduction of the new Keihan 3000 series in 2008, the old 3000 series was redesignated as 8000-30 series.[6] The 3000 series was withdrawn from services by Keihan in March 2013.[5]
