History

The 5000 series was introduced from 1969, with a total of 15 sets (60 vehicles) built. These were augmented from 1978 by 20 6-car sets (120 vehicles), classified as 5200 series.

4+6-car formations were gradually replaced by new 4000 series sets, and the last remaining 6-car sets are scheduled to be withdrawn following the last day of operations on 30 January 2011.[2] The remaining 4-car sets will be withdrawn on 16 March 2012.[3]
