The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company on the Tsukuba Express line in the Kantō region of Japan since 2005. A total of 84 cars were delivered.

Design

The TX-1000 series trains use unpainted double-skin aluminium body construction assembled with friction stir welding. They are used only on the Akihabara – Moriya section of the Tsukuba Express line, which is electrified at 1,500 V DC, as the rest of the line is electrified at 20 kV AC; services beyond Moriya to Tsukuba are operated by dual-voltage TX-2000 series sets only.[1]
