History

The 1380 set was introduced in 2003, reformed from former 1030/1230 series six-car set 1134, which sustained damage to the limited express cars in a level crossing accident in 2002. The limited express cars were scrapped, and a new cab was added to the former intermediate car 1384, creating a new four-car set for use on commuter services. The train was also repainted from the original red and white limited express livery into the standard Meitetsu commuter train livery of all-over red.
Set 1384 made its last run on 2 September 2015, before being taken out of service.
