History edit
These trains are the second rendition of the 1000 series. The original 1000 series, renumbered to the 11001 series in their later years, were all scrapped by 1987.
The sets were refurbished between 2017 and 2020. Works included upgrades to passenger display information and installation of multi-language LCD screens above the car doors inside the trains.
