【681系がウエストエクスプレス銀河へ】681系を寝台特急へ改造...ウエストエクスプレス銀河の次期型車両は開発されるのか

It's still fresh in our memory that in the summer of 2025, a preserved 681 series lead car was used to open a restaurant on the former elevated Umekoji Short-Cut Line in Kyoto. As in this case, it is expected that there will be more cases of reusing vehicles that have run through the Heisei era. Along with this, the 681 series will not only be used as a preserved car, but there is also the possibility that it will be re-modified to run on main lines.
