Refurbishment
editRefurbishments have been carried out for the 7300 series fleet since 2008.[4]
The first set to be refurbished, 8-car set 7320, returned to service on 8 September 2008.[5] It received a restyled front end with LED destination displays, as well as LCD information displays in the interior.[4]
Eight-car set 7303 was the second set to be refurbished,[6] returning to service on 15 July 2014. This set was retrofitted with a VVVF traction control system similar to that of the then-new 1300 series trains,[7] and it also received other external and internal upgrades.[8] Subsequently treated sets have followed this set's specifications.[8][9]
