The Shinkansen series E1 ( Japanese 新 幹線 E1 系 電車 , Shinkansen E1-kei densha ) was a Japanese high-speed train that was used between 1994 and 2012 on the Tōhoku-Shinkansen and Jōetsu-Shinkansen from JR East . With the E1 series, double-decker Shinkansen were used for the first time . Together with the subsequent Shinkansen series E4 , these are also known under the brand name Max (Multi-Amenity-eXpress), which means something like "Express with several amenities". The vehicles were taken out of service in September 2012.
history
Due to the special settlement structure in the Tokyo area, the Tōhoku and Jōetsu Shinkansen were used by a growing number of commuters to commute to Tokyo in the morning and in the evening. This brought the 200 series vehicles used by JR East to date to their capacity limits, as the cycle density could not easily be increased (minimum distance, number of available vehicles). Therefore, in the early 1990s, the development of the E1 series - initially called the Shinkansen series 600 - began.
The first set of the E1 series was delivered on March 3, 1994 to the Shinkansen depot Sendai. A total of six trains were produced. Commercial use on the Tōhoku Shinkansen began on July 15, 1994. Originally, the E1 series was to be marketed as the “Double-Deck Shinkansen” (double-decker Shinkansen) and carried the “DDS-E1” logo. Shortly before the start of the regular service, the marketing name was changed to "Max" (Multi-Amenity-eXpress).
In December 1999 all six sets were transferred to the Shinkansen depot Niigata and henceforth used exclusively on the Jōetsu Shinkansen as Max-Tanigawa and Max-Asahi connections.
Between the end of 2003 and the middle of 2004, the vehicles were given a general overhaul and the exterior paintwork was also changed: Instead of the original white and turquoise paintwork, the vehicles were given a white and navy blue paintwork with a pink trim. The “Max” logo has also been redesigned.
The last scheduled journey of a class E1 train took place on September 28, 2012. All vehicles were scrapped after being decommissioned.
