Historyedit
The 8000 series trains were introduced between 1989 and 1990, initially operating as seven-car sets.[1] They were lengthened to eight cars per set with the addition of a type 8800 bi-level car from fiscal 1997.[1] Use of the bi-level car does not incur a standalone surcharge.
Between 2008 and 2010, the fleet was repainted into a new livery.[1]

Between March 2010 and November 2012, the fleet gradually underwent refurbishment, which also included interior changes.[1][3]
Since 2018, the fleet has been receiving LED destination displays and updated interior lighting.[4]: 3
Premium Car introductionedit
"Premium Car" exterior, September 2017
In 2017,[4] car 6 of each set was modified to become a "Premium Car" with 2+1 abreast reclining seating ahead of the introduction of reserved-seating limited express services on 20 August 2017, which incurs a surcharge.[5] Modifications include the elimination of one doorway on each side. Seating accommodation is provided for 40 passengers with a seat width of 460 mm (18 in) (compared with 430 mm (17 in) for seating in other cars) and seat pitch of 1,020 mm (40 in) (compared with 920 mm (36 in) for seating in other cars).[5] AC power outlets are provided for each seat.[5] To accommodate the cars' modifications, the fleet was provisionally operated as seven-car sets from September 2016.[6][7]
