Toei 12-600 series

The 12-600 series sets were delivered from fiscal 2011. Broadly based on the earlier 12-000 series design (sets 16 to 53), these sets included a number of design improvements.{{cite magazine|title = 東京都交通局１２－６００形（大江戸線）|trans-title=Toei 12-600 series (Ōedo Line)|magazine=Tetsudō Daiya Jōhō Magazine | volume = 41| issue = 336| page =82| publisher = Kōtsū Shimbun | location = Japan | date = April 2012}} The latest batch of sets entered service on 15 February 2019 and use a different headlamp setup, with a dual headlamp-taillamp fixture; as opposed to shield-beam headlamps as used on the first eight sets, these use LED fixtures.

As of 2018, ten sets are in service and are all based at Kiba Depot.

The 12-600 sets are formed as shown below, with all cars motored.

• Each M1 car is fitted with a single-arm pantograph.
