The was a commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Hankyu Corporation on the Hankyu Kyoto Main Line from 1957 until 1987.[1]
Based on the Kobe Line 1000 series and Takarazuka Line 1100 series, one three-car set (1301+1351+1302) and one two-car set (1303+1353) were delivered in 1957. Set 1301 featured transverse seating arranged in fixed 4-seat bays for use on limited-stop "limited express" services. Set 1303 had the same longitudinal bench seating as the 1000 and 1100 series sets. The sets were able to run on both 600 V and 1,500 V DC overhead power supply, as some 600 V sections still existed on Hankyu at the time of their introduction.[1]
The second batch appeared in 1959, consisting of two more three-car sets (1305+1353+1306 and 1307+1354+1308), and one intermediate trailer (T) car (1352) to lengthen the earlier two-car set 1303. Set 1307 was delivered with three doors per side instead of two per side on the earlier sets.[1]
In 1960, three intermediate trailer (T) cars, numbered 1355 to 1357, were delivered to lengthen the existing three-car sets. These all had longitudinal seating, and car 1357 had three doors per side.[1]
In 1961, one more intermediate trailer (T) car, numbered 1358, was delivered. This had longitudinal seating and two doors per side.[1]
In 1966, set 1301 was modified with longitudinal seating replacing the original transverse seating, and was no longer used on limited express services.[1]
Most of the 1300 series cars were retrofitted with roof-mounted air-conditioning between 1975 and 1976.[1]
The 1300 series were scrapped between 1984 and 1987, with no special final runs held to mark their withdrawal.[1] None of them were preserved.
