The Toei 7000 series (東京都交通局7000形?) is a tramcar type operated by Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) on the Toden Arakawa Line in Tokyo, Japan. The tramcars date from the 1950s, but were rebuilt in 1977 with new bodies.[1]

Operations
The fleet is based at Arakawa Depot, and operates on the sole remaining tram line in Tokyo, the Toden Arakawa Line.[2]
History
The original cars were built between 1955 and 1956 by Hitachi and Nippon Sharyo. In 1977, the fleet was modernized with new bodies built by Alna Sharyo, re-using the original bogies and electrical equipment.[3] The cars were renumbered at the same time.[3]
In 1978, the new 7000 series design was awarded the Laurel Prize, presented annually in Japan since by the Japan Railfan Club.[4]
Future developments
Eight 7000 series cars are scheduled to be rebuilt as 7700 series cars during fiscal 2016, with refurbished bodies, new electrical equipment including VVVF control, and new bogies.[5]

As of 1 April 2015[update], 19 vehicles are still in service.[2] The individual car build histories are as follows.[3][6][7]
