Seventh-batch eight-car sets (referred to as the 3050 series) are primarily used on the Narita Sky Access Line.[6]

As of 1 April 2016, the fleet consists of 12 eight-car sets (3001, 3026 to 3030, and 3051 to 3056) and 26 six-car sets (3002 to 3025 and 3031 to 3032) formed as shown below.[5] Car 6/8 is at the Narita Airport end.[7]

Livery variations

edit

Sets 3051 to 3056 were delivered with a blue airport-access livery.

In 2019, the livery of set 3052 was changed to match that of the then-new Keisei 3100 series trains, with four other 3050 subseries sets scheduled to be re-liveried the same way in the future.[20] Set 3056 remains the last set to obtain the orange scheme.[21]

Starting from December 2019, 3050 subseries trains were re-liveried to match that of the 3000 series fleet, with set 3051 being the first to receive the mainline livery.[22]
