This rare 11-minute documentary was recorded, compiled and edited in 1999-2000, and covers the refurbishment of the Mid-Life Refurbishment trains that were retired in May 6th of 2022 of Hong Kong Kowloon-Canton Railway East Rail (KCR EAST RAIL) or Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway East Rail Line, and was made to teach and educate people about the MLR Trains, before retirement. What happens in there? Watch until the end to find out! End music removed due to copyright.

    Sadly, the train retired on 6th May, 2022. I think MTR should buy stadler new commuter train which fit instead of rotem.

    3:06-3:10 This is 370. A train retired in February 2020 due to it getting vandalized at University Station.
    591-291-691 and 454 have been repaired and then placed back into service. 454 was renumbered to 430, and 430 was renumbered to 432, while the original 432 was scrapped along with the derailed carriages of E81/E21, the train with 430.
    BTW, on the original and refurbished 3094 stock, K03/K05, or present Mid Life Refurbishment(MLR), this is the status of cars with numbers 1-6
    Car 1#### is a SOUTHbound drive car.
    Car 2#### is a PANTOGRAPH car. Pantographs provide electricity for the train, its also the motor carriage
    Car 3### is a NORTHBOUND drive car.
    Car 4#### is FIRST CLASS.
    Car 5#### is INTERMEDIATE and motorless carriage.
    Car 6#### is INTERMEDIATE and motorless carriage.
    3:17 370’s Yellow Head section is replaced with a new head that is more modern.

    MTR aren't cruel, it had to happen someday because they were nearing the end of their lifespan, like ive mentioned before. Not saying it was deserved, just saying, they reached the end of their lifespan, so it makes sense to scrap them as otherwise the trains will break down at some point beyond repair. This happened to E96/E77
