TheHankyu 8200 series (阪急電鉄8200系) is anelectric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated in Japan by the private railway operatorHankyu Railway since 1995.
The 8200 series sets are used during the weekday morning rush hour on theKobe Main Line to provide additional capacity forCommuter Limited Express andRapid Express trains,[2] when cumulative congestion can reach 147% during this time.[citation needed] They were also formerly used during the evening rush hour.[2]
