These sets, numbered 2231 to 2234, use two newly built limited express cars and four 2300 series cars originally used with the 1700 series sets. The first of these sets to be formed, 2234, entered service in February 2020, using the 2300 series cars from 1700 series set 1704.

All 1700 series limited express cars were scrapped by February 2021.
