The 1200 series (1200形) is a single-car diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type operated on local regional services by Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) in Japan since 2008.[1] The fleet of 18 cars was converted from former 1000 series DMU cars to allow operation in conjunction with newly delivered 1500 series DMU cars.[2]
