For the second time, introduction of train series 201 was implemented from June through September of 1983, when six sets of train series 201were deployed at Akashi Depot, discharging type 103 cars then transferred to Katamachi and Kansai Lines to replace their old type 101 cars.
201系の第2次投入は1983年6月から9月にかけて実施され、6編成が明石に配属されて103系を捻出し、片町、関西両線の101系を置換えた。
