The MTR CSR Sifang EMU is a new rolling stock order by MTR Hong Kong in July 2015.[1] The order was originally planned for 78 trainsets, but was increased to 93 trainsets at HK$6 billion (US$779 million) on grounds that it provided "better value for money".[1][2] These trains will replace the existing M-Trains, currently the oldest trains on the network, and operate on the Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line and Tseung Kwan O Line from 2018 and expected to be fully delivered by 2023.[1]
