The E231-800 series is a special train that was introduced in 2003 to run on the Chuo and Sobu lines and the Tokyo Metro Tozai line. This train is based on the 209-1000 series, but there are many differences from the 209-1000 series, such as a different arrangement of door cocks and the installation of external speakers, and these small differences are what make this train so interesting.
Another major feature is that the line color is not canary yellow, which represents the Chuo and Sobu lines, but cerulean blue, which is the line color of the Tokyo Metro Tozai line, which the train runs on, and indigo blue, which is the line color of the Tokyo Metro Tozai line, to prevent passengers from getting on the wrong train. Currently, the control equipment of this train has been updated and the lights have been replaced with LEDs, and seven trains are in service between Mitaka/Nakano and Nishi-Funabashi/Tsudanuma via the Tokyo Metro Tozai line.
