Seoul Metropolitan Subway rolling stock

There are many types of trains in Seoul but they are generally similar to each other. Typically, train cars have four pairs of doors on each side. In between the doors are rows of either cushioned or non-cushioned seats for 7 people (6 on newer trains), except for the outer ends of each wagon where there are smaller rows of seats for 3 people, marked for the use by the elderly, disabled passengers, and pregnant women.

Interior of Korail Class 311000 for Seoul Subway (Before Refurbishment)

This list focuses primarily on trains that run on the 9 urban subway lines in Seoul, the wide-area commuter rail lines integrated into the Seoul Metropolitan Subway, and the AREX airport railroad. The list does not, however, include rolling stock used on the Incheon Subway and light metro systems such as the U Line or EverLine.

Features

Emergency procedures

How to open the doors in a Seoul Subway train.

Each train has at least one fire extinguisher and options for opening the door in an emergency. A SOS phone is placed in most cars operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation, and all new rolling stock.

Help for English Speakers

LED display in a Seoul Subway train, showing Korean. Next the display would switch to an English version.

All trains in Seoul have both English and Korean announcements regarding each train stop. In addition, a map displays their names in both Korean and Latin characters. Many trains also have a LED display above a door or in the middle of the train car that displays information in Korean and English. However, many destination signs from the sides of the train have been removed due to their reduced visibility with the installation of platform screen doors. Some of the newest trains feature LCD screens above the doors or the middle of the train that display short commercials and station information.

Fleet

Seoul Metro & Korail

All cars are 19.5 meters in length, 3.12 meters in width, and 3.8 meters in height. (63.98 feet in length, 10.24 feet in width, and 12.47 feet in height.) Newer trains operated by Seoul Metro are usually given the same variables because they are intended to replace older trains.

All trains on Lines 5-8 are equipped with an ATO (Automatic Train Operation) systems. As a backup, there is always a driver on board in case of a failure in the ATO system.

The driving cars of the Line 4 trains were converted to unpowered cars to extend some of the other trains to ten cars. There were no trains with numbers ending from 01 to 30 initially due to numbering conflicts at the time. Many trains received newer cars built between 1990 and 1993 to become 10-car trains.
