Interior

History
The 1000 series trains were first introduced in 1988, as four-car sets formed entirely of limited express style cars. Between 1991 and 1992, six of the four-car sets were split up and combined with four 1200 series commuter style cars to create new six-car 1000/1200 series mixed sets. In 1992, four more six-car sets were built, reusing electrical equipment from withdrawn 7500 series "Panorama Car" EMU cars, and classified 1030/1230 series. These sets differed from the earlier 1000/1200 series trainsets in having all cars motored. Set 1134 was converted to become a four-car 1380 series commuter set in 2002 after the limited express cars sustained collision damage and had to be scrapped. From 2015, the designation for the trains was standardized to simply "1200 series".
Withdrawal
The remaining four-car sets were removed from regular service from the start of the timetable revision on 27 December 2008. Set 1001 was used on a special farewell run on18 April 2009. Some of the electrical equipment from these sets being reused in 5000 series commuter EMUs.
Refurbishment
From fiscal 2015, three 6-car 1200 series sets are scheduled to be refurbished with new interiors and exterior livery. The first set treated, 1112, was unveiled in August 2015. Refurbishment work includes replacing the original "Panorama Super" headboard panel with a colour LED destination indicator, and a new livery similar to that carried by the 2200 series trains.
