 This plan was however cancelled due to the cost of converting the 1,500 V DC cars to 600 V DC operation.Instead, two pairs of former Iyo Railway 800 series EMU cars were purchased in 2009, and these entered service in July 2010 following conversion work, becoming the 2000 series.In September 2015, a two-car 700 series EMU was purchased from the Iyo Railway for 1.3 million yen.
