From the Tetsudo-Shimbun.com . These appear to be exactly the same as the 80000 series also introduced for the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway.

Not bad looking trains.  Probably wont win any style awards, but at least they didn't go too crazy with the design.

The 3100 Series is due to debut on October 26.

Some seats in the new trains can fold up for luggage storage, a nice feature on the Narita Sky Access line where the trains will see their initial use.

The trains have a wheelchair space that has lean seats in each car, a versatile space.

They also feature LCD screens and free WiFi.

 

On delivery from J-TREC: (back in July)

Most of that sounded like a Keisei advertisement 😬

I didn't want to make a new topic for this, but test running began for the Shin Keisei Line 8000 series on Wednesday 13 October. It looks very similar to the 3100 series, in Shin Keisei's pink livery.

I hope that's the last new train post I have to do for a while...
