The **E131 series** (E131系) is a DC [electric multiple unit](/source/Electric_multiple_unit) (EMU) train type operated by the [East Japan Railway Company](/source/East_Japan_Railway_Company) (JR East). It began operations in the Chiba area on 13 March 2021, on the [Sagami Line](/source/Sagami_Line) on 18 November 2021, and on the [Nikkō Line](/source/Nikk%C5%8D_Line) and the [Utsunomiya Line](/source/Utsunomiya_Line) on 12 March 2022. The trains are equipped for [driver-only operation](/source/One-person_operation) (*wanman* (ワンマン; "one man")).

## Design

The E131 series trains have stainless steel bodies.[1] They have LCD passenger information displays above the doors,[1] as well as wheelchair-accessible and stroller-accessible "free spaces" on all cars. As they are equipped for "[wanman](/source/Wanman)" driver-only operation, body-mounted cameras are utilized to monitor passengers boarding and alighting the train; these cameras are then fed to displays located in the driver's cab.[1][2] They also feature semi-automatic doors, allowing passengers to operate the doors during driver-only operation.[1][2]

Internally, the trains are equipped with security cameras and emergency call switches.[1]

Some trains in each subseries are numbered -X80, as they have a slightly different equipment configuration due to the presence of track monitoring equipment.
