The 8200 series sets are used during the weekday morning rush hour on the Kobe Main Line to provide additional capacity for Commuter Limited Express and Rapid Express trains,[2] when cumulative congestion can reach 147% during this time. They were also formerly used during the evening rush hour.[2]

As of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of two 2-car sets, formed as follows.[3]

The "Mc1" cars are fitted with two single-arm pantographs.[3]
