🚆 Farewell, MLR! The end of MTR East Rail Line 12-car commuter trains, the compilation MLR退役榮休合輯

[@happyworldytmain]

雖然我3年先坐一次東鐵，但從我小個第一次坐MLR起，都係非常特別，例如：淺綠色為主題，獨特磨打聲，甚至獨特開閂門過程(一嘟就閂)。MLR永遠是我最爱列車，甚至超越輕鐵五期❤

[@numberIII5243-bh8fo]

I honestly thought that in the early stages we would have a bunch of what is now the TML C trains to simplify the option. But I was wrong, one, due to the east west corridor, the trains were modified, and two, for safety regulations, the new trains needed to have emergency exit ramps at the ends, so the SP 1900s being modified to 9 cars wasn’t an option.

[@Elevatorman2005]

3:35 the new trains have a really sterile and clinical design compared to the older train, yet the partitioning glass to the edge of each bench is has a very obtrusive plastic guard, which may be safer, but gives the older trains a much more airy and spacious feeling in contrast. Also, I'm not a fan of the strap style handholds instead of the hard plastic ones.

@@FlatEarthKillerit’s a cost based saving and was deliberate. If the route was slightly altered it would have been able to accommodate what could have been a 12 car version of the 1141A trains.

​@@SFsRailDepotI really dont know why the east rail line is going from 12 cars to 9. they could've had made some R trains 12 cars (will mostly operate during rush hour) and some 9 cars.

The 12 car trains cannot cross the harbour and cannot stop at the new Hung Hom platforms. This will add unnecessary complexity to the line and passengers.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

To clear up confusion as to why MLR isnt changing lines: Its the slowest train in all of MTR, with the slowest acceleration and slowest deceleration, which may result in overruning or underruning APGs and PSD on the TML. This also means that the MLR cant climb up or go down as it may go too fast beyond its altitudinal handling, or may come to a stop on high climbs. Also, a 3-car MLR went to pat heung depot for decommission testing. Pulled by diesels as the diesels have more altitudinal power than the MLR trains. I hope this explains.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@tselongkiu7393 Agreed. Slowest acceleration doesnt mean its the slowest in MTR, but it speeds up very slowly.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@tselongkiu7393 agreed, my mother likes its slow acceleration because scenery.

[@TanVasinTrains]

Is the 3 car train still there today on testing with diesels

[@FlatEarthKiller]

@@TanVasinTrains Its still there, not testing with diesels as far as i know, i believe the E44 may not be decommissioned. Also, MLR isnt the first electric trains of HK, M trains are. (First M train was made in 1978)

[@squidgame2021]

@@tselongkiu7393 I am not sure about the actual specifications of either train's acceleration but I can confidently say the R train's acceleration is a LOT faster than the old trains. A much needed change to increase frequency. Top speeds are not that impressive when the acceleration is slow, meaning trains can't achieve top speeds as much over short distances. And a slight correction the R train's top speed is actually 130kmh and the MLRs could only do 120kmh.

[@FlatEarthKiller]

Will the MTR permanently keep the KCR E44? (repurposing it to an emergency 3 car train)
