Seating consists of longitudinal seating throughout.
The 7000 series first appeared in 1996. [2] It is the second original design for the Semboku Railway following the 5000 series. [3]
These are the second series in the Semboku fleet to feature aluminum bodies and VVVF inverters. [2]
The 7020 series was introduced in 2007 and implements a selection of improvements to the original 7000 series including more handstraps, stanctions, and distinguishable priority seating. [4] The difference between the 7020 series and the 7000 series is that the 7020 series has a distinguishable single centered front door. [3]
The trains are used on through-services from Namba to Izumi-Chūō via the Nankai Main Line and Semboku Line, as well as on services on the Koya Line. [5]
As the flagship rolling stock of the Semboku Rapid Railway, [6] the trainsets have been painted in various promotional liveries. From April 2015 through 2018, [7] 7020 series set 7521 was wrapped in a livery to promote the 20th anniversary of the opening Izumi-Chūō station. [8][ needs update] Starting in October 2017, 7000 series set 7509 was wrapped in a livery to promote characters featured at the Osaka Prefectural Children's Center. [9] This wrap was named "Frontier" from October 2017.[ needs update]
