Tobu Sano Line services are operated by 800 and 850 series three-car driver-only-operation sets introduced from the start of the revised timetable on 18 March 2006.

The Utsunomiya Line fleet based at Shin-Tochigi Depot consisted of four-car trainsets modified for driver-only operation.

[3] The Urban Park Line fleet based at Nanakōdai Depot consists of six-car trainsets.

These are used in local driver-only operation services north of Ogawamachi, where four sets are required every day.

From the start of the revised timetable on 14 June 2008, only refurbished four-car driver-only-operation sets are used on the Tobu Ogose Line.

Sets refurbished from 1997 onward received HID headlights and LED external destination indicators, replacing the original roller blind type.

From 1985, sets were repainted into a new livery of "jasmine white" with dark and light blue bodyside stripes.

One six-car set, 8108, was repainted into the original beige and orange livery between October 2004 and June 2005 to mark the 90th anniversary of the Tojo Line.

[7] In November 2014, four-car set 81107, based at Shinrinkoen Depot, was repainted into the original "royal beige" and "international orange" livery.

[8] From 28 November 2015, four-car set 8198, based at Shinrinkoen Depot, was repainted into the dark blue with yellow stripe livery carried by 54 series and 53 series EMUs used on Flying Tojo limited express services on the Tobu Tojo Line during the 1950s.
