Ten former Tōzai Line sets were converted in 1995 to Tōyō Rapid 1000 series EMUs for use on the Tōyō Rapid Railway extension of the Tōzai Line.

Three former Tōzai Line 10-car sets (5059, 5066, 5067) were sold to Indonesia in 2007, entering service with KRL Jabotabek in the Jakarta area from May 2007.[2]
