Hankyu 9300 series

The 8-car 9300 series trains operate on the Hankyu Kyoto Main Line, primarily on limited express services. ==Formations==

As of 1 April 2012, the fleet consisted of eleven eight-car sets formed as follows, with three motored (M) cars and five non-powered trailer (T) cars. The "Mc1" and "M1" cars are fitted with two single-arm pantographs.

On 21 November 2023, Hankyu Corporation announced that a new seat reservation service, branded PRiVACE, is due to be introduced in July 2024 on Kyoto Main Line Limited Express services. A total of 6 sets of the 9300 series is scheduled to temporarily incorporate one reserved seat car each as the fourth car from the Osaka end and operate alongside one newly-built 2300 series set initially. As delivery of further 2300 series sets progresses in the future, the PRiVACE cars will gradually be transferred to the 2300 series fleet. == Refurbishment ==

Refurbishment includes updated control equipment, replacement of transverse seating with longitudinal seating, an additional motored car, and external LED destination displays. Additionally, cars 2 and 3 swapped positions, with the new car 2 being renumbered 9900 (from 9870). The first refurbished set, set 9300, underwent testing from 26 May 2025. == Notes ==
