Product Description
The E721 series, introduced in 2007, is the main train in the Tohoku region, handling commuter and suburban transport.
The E721 series in the Sendai area were added for the purpose of updating the rolling stock at JR East's Sendai Branch and for operation on the Sendai Airport Access Line, and are operated together with the existing 701 series 1000/1500 series.
Designed to match the low-floor platforms used during the JNR (Japanese National Railways) era, it features a low-floor body structure with small-diameter wheels and was manufactured as a barrier-free vehicle with no steps at the entrances.
The E721 series belonging to the Sendai Branch comes in two types: the 2-car 0 series and the 4-car 1000 series, and is operated in a maximum of 6-car formations by coupling the two series together.
During daytime hours and on terminal sections, only the 0 series may be operated, so you can enjoy variations from 2 to 6 cars.
Furthermore, the trains that can be coupled are not only the E721 series, but also the 701 series.
