History

[edit]

The 381 series EMU was developed from the experimental 591 series 3-car articulated tilting EMU tested from 1970.[8]

Trainsets entered revenue service from 10 July 1973 on theShinanolimited express between Nagoya and Nagano.[8]

JR-West 381 series trains were removed fromKuroshio,Kounotori,Kinosaki,andHashidatelimited express services in October 2015, with the last services operating on 30 October.[7]

As the new273 seriessets began service from 6 April 2024, it was announced by JR West in December 2023 that the remaining 381 series sets were scheduled to be retired from June 2024.[9]The next sets to be retired were those repainted in various historic liveries; the sets sporting theYuttari Yakumolivery were scheduled for retirement at a later date.[10]The last regularly scheduledYakumorun by this series took place on 15 June 2024 thus marking the end of regular service of the 381 series as a whole.[4]
