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

This video is a collection of clips from 2021/02 to 2022/05/06, with a few clips from even eariler. Some clips during the MLR farewell are provided by other people.
The moment has finally came for the MTR MLR-trains to retire completely on 2022/05/06. In the past year, all 29 sets of MLRs were being replaced by new R-train one by one. At the moment of the MLR retires, there are 4 complete sets remaining. Originally known as the "yellow head", the first batch of trains has served Hong Kong for exactly 40 years since 1982/05/06. The train was refurbished from 1995-1999 to the look in the video. Please enjoy this compilation of the MLR serving MTR East Rail Line for the last year!
MLR退役時候終於來臨，列車在2022年5月6日全面退役。在過去一年，全數29列的MLR逐一被替換成新的R-train，退役之際尚有剩下4列完整的列車。MLR前身為黃頭火車，首批在40年前的1982年5月6日投入服務，而黃頭火車在1995-1999年翻新成影片中的模樣。請享受這個MLR最後一年服務的合輯！

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.

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.

15:09 MLR E96/77 last day

[@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.
