MTR URBAN LINE TRAIN(RT44)

MTR Urban Line trains are the oldest of the MTR's passenger trains, having been in service for more than 40 years since 1979. After nearly 20 years of service, the train underwent a modernisation project, which was completed in September 2001. The completely renovated train is also known as the "Modernised Train". The refurbishment has improved the air-conditioning, ventilation and lighting systems and added multi-purpose space for wheelchairs and luggage. In addition, the new trains have been revitalised with improved concave seats, suspended handrails and resurfaced floors. The upgraded information system in the driver's cab also enables the train driver to monitor the various systems inside the train, thus enhancing the safety of travelling on the train.
