The 227-0 series fleet consists of 276 vehicles (42 two-car sets and 64 three-car sets), which were delivered from autumn 2014 for test running and driver training before entering revenue service initially on the

JNR-era 115 series EMUs.[1] The trains were also intended to displace 115 series EMUs on the Kure Line and Kabe Line.[2] The entire fleet was delivered by February 2019.[8]

The fleet entered revenue service from 14 March 2015. They were the first new trains to operate in the Hiroshima area since the 113-3000 series, which was introduced near the end of JNR; trains introduced since the 113-3000 series were inherited from the Kansai area.[9]: 21  The last sets of this sub-series delivered were 2-car sets S41 and S42 in February 2019. [10]

In January 2022, it was announced that the 227-0 series would undergo a trial for platform-side cameras. The cameras would be activated on the right side of the train relative to the direction of driving.[11]

Set A65 was formed in 2022 by combining two cars (KuMoHa 226-11 and MoHa 226-11) from three-car set A11 and one car (KuMoHa 227-33) from three-car set A33.[12]

Formations

The 227 series fleet consists of 42 two-car and 64 three-car sets, allowing formations of up to eight cars to be formed in service.[5]

The 227-500 series will consist of 13 two-car sets and 25 three-car sets (101 cars in total), and were first announced by JR West in May 2022 for use on rail lines serving Okayama and Bingo, such as the San'yō Line.[8][31][32] Designated as 227-500 series, the first three sets were delivered from Kinki Sharyo in February 2023.[32] The series was given the brand name Urara (うらら) owing to a naming contest run by JR West.[32] The sets carry a pink livery, which is associated with cherry blossoms as well as the softer climate experienced along the lines in which these trainsets will be running.[8]

The first of these sets entered revenue service on 22 July 2023 on the Sanyo Line and the

Sanyo Main Line (Himeji - Mihara), the Hakubi Line (Okayama - Niimi), the Uno Line and the Honshi–Bisan Line (Chayamachi - Kojima).[34]
