Kawasaki Heavy Industries & Nippon Sharyo C751B - Interior Design

Interior Design

All cars are equipped with 6 Liquid Crystal Display per car (which have since been deactivated), and all except trainset 347/348 which features LED displays (which have been replaced by the VFDs of the STARIS). These used to show rail travel information, commercials and movie trailers. They also come with more grab poles, wider seats, more space near the doors and wheelchair space. The interior and exterior design of the train have been improved, incorporating a much sleeker design. The LEDs however have seen little usage after a new series of voice announcements were introduced across the system in mid-2008. Trainset 327/328 is the only one to have VPIS working in 2009; and in 27 July 2010, STARIS were installed on 319/320 and 321/322 as demonstrators, followed by the rest of the C751Bs from September 2010. All VPIS were removed to make way for the STARIS.

The colour layout on these trains are also different from their earlier counterparts. Cars 1 and 6 use a sort of pinkish-purple color on the seats, while cars 2 and 5 use a different shade of blue, and the middle cars using a bluish-green. All door panels and walls are white, which was subsequently adopted in the refurbishment of the C151 trains.
