I don’t live in NT and didn’t take the MLRs much, but I just came back from taking some final photos because these trains diligently served us for four decades and I’ll miss them so much.
The MLRs used to have wheelchair space, but MTR removed them to make way for seats that were removed from the front to make way for new signal boxes (again!)
MLR retirement sounds like my best friend leaving for canada in 2-3 months.😭Thank you MLR for all your service! I love to ride them 3-5 years ago weekly and now they're gone. Farewell MLRs.
A few hours ago I finished school and ran so damn fast just to catch a train to get to Sha Tin station to have a final look at it and to record some videos about it. I swear, I almost died 10 times. But...It was worth it. The best train ever.
I didn’t know that was MLR last day MLR retire the next day after I just receive a message from email my mom sent it to me and I see the video and then I was so sad that MLR is retired😢
Lots of memories riding up and down the KCR in these trains. Sad that they've been replaced. They were so well maintained I didn't realised they were so old.
Singapore 🇸🇬 also had Sent its 40 years old Former legend Siemens and Kawasaki older models trains 🚆 to Scrap yards in Tuas and even Former public light Rail Trains and buses 🚌 too
I never got to travel on any of the MTR or KCRC EMU’s, however, I helped manufacture the bodies from 1981 - 1985 whilst employed at Metro Cammell’s manufacturing base at Washwood Heath, Birmingham.
@@hiddenhongkong it is good to know that the KCRC and HK MTRC rail carriages lasted nearly 40 years in service. From the many comments I have read on many forms of social media it appears that the generations of people in Hong Kong were really impressed with the trains I helped manufacture.
Is The MLR trains still at a depot somewhere? or is all sets been sent to the scrapyard eventhough ine is at the Fire Department, and some seats and handrails are kept, its still not enough,I want one in a museum. I have personally never been on the east rail line, I have been to hong kong 2 times
Went to Hong Kong once before the pandemic. Such a pity to have not taken the ERL once. Now the 12-car commuter trains are almost nowhere to be found in the world.
Thou i am from Australia, I paid a visit back in 2018 and rode in this train a lot, sad to see it go as i traveled on it oftern on this mordel of train while in HK. Guess i will have special memory of it now
@@hiddenhongkong I Just wish one is preserved now and not all cut up at the scrapyard, maybe one unrefrub and one refurb could be paired up in the museum.
Train retirement / preservation procedures are not affected by its history. Preservation by the MTR is unlikely due to the fact that there isn't much space to do so, except Hung Hom's old platforms which likely will be utilised as stabling sidings instead though. And I believe the tracks leading to the Railway Museum aren't connected to the EAL so transporting traincars there will be a logistical nightmare.
It wont work cuz mlr is already too and broke too many times old and end of its life and plus mlr cant go up on the hung hom new platfroms and curve bends thats why mlr is retirimg
The Metro Cammell Electric Multiple Unit AC KCR train has been completely scrapped, defiled, piled up, dismembered, dismantled, destroyed, demolished and damaged beyond repair after they cut up 24 trains at Lo Wu in half, and 4 trains into 4 easily manageable sections, and the last MLR (E112/E71) has been permanently disabled with 6 carriages scrapped in the depot!

The train will sold in uk
RIP MLR

It's a good train. Farewell MLR. We will always remember you.

We will also miss the KCR sticker scar as a memory

Thank you for filming this special video. Miss you MLR, and many thank you for your 40 years of hard work. MLR, you can take a rest now.

I finished school 1:30 north district btw ;);););););)😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@Bloboii RIP :/
After school, I ran for my life to Sha Tin to also catch it leaving. Btw check my video 12 car train last moments
I didn’t know that was MLR last day MLR retire the next day after I just receive a message from email my mom sent it to me and I see the video and then I was so sad that MLR is retired😢
keep up the good work and thanks for all the videos about the history of hk railway development
RIP MLR
1982-2022
The mlr was probably the coolest train in Hong Kong
They had their special section for people who pay more
First Class
Goodbye MLR… We will miss you! Edit: hopefully we can see them in HK railway museum!
I am so sad
MLR retired after I didn’t see MLR in the Railway Museum
But I see one picture in exhibition center station
So I took one picture
@@alex680abc there is not enough room (the old coaches from the steam and diesel era had taken all of the space)
I hope 鉄道空想 would make a retirement film based on the MLR
MMR清 :)
白色地鐵也退了
This is bringing me so much memories😢
Lots of memories riding up and down the KCR in these trains. Sad that they've been replaced. They were so well maintained I didn't realised they were so old.
Love the song. Thank you MLR. 😭😭 also reminding me my friend is leaving
I rode this thing so many times to my cousin’s house man all the memories
the return 🤝
Hi, could you do an explanation of the new Exhibition Centre Station?

I saw them on back of lorries in birmingham as they were on their way to being shipped to Hong Kong.
Lots of memories on these trains. Sad that I couldn't make it back to HK to see them one last time.
Can you make a video Introduction of the new east rail line cross harbour section?
awesome MLR insights!
You should do a full journey on Citybus (Cityflyer) Route A10, because it is one the most expensive bus routes in Hong Kong, along with KMB route 869.
I MISS MLR TRAIN😔
Slight correction- as noted by another commenter, the yellow heads commenced service on 6 May 1982 not 1 Feb 1982.
we can still see them, but in the UK and at it original version
Bye MLR 👋
Sad that I didn’t get to see them before taken out of service😭😭
Is The MLR trains still at a depot somewhere? or is all sets been sent to the scrapyard eventhough ine is at the Fire Department, and some seats and handrails are kept, its still not enough,I want one in a museum. I have personally never been on the east rail line, I have been to hong kong 2 times
One is still in depot.
E112/E71
@@FlatEarthKiller What happened to it now?
I managed to ride the MLR last year when I was in HK
I experienced it!

Yeah, me neither.

Are any going to be preserved? Or are they being cut it just because they were from British hong kong?
I think some are being sold to private collectors. Nothing has anything to do with the British afaik.
@@hiddenhongkong but they came from England as they were manufactured by Metro Cammell when I first rode these in 1992 (between Sha Tin and Fanling)
@@hiddenhongkong I Just wish one is preserved now and not all cut up at the scrapyard, maybe one unrefrub and one refurb could be paired up in the museum.
@@alexanderip1003 Just because they were made in the UK doesn't mean they have to be sent back there. Trains are not milk bottles.

0:10 Not 1982/5/6 ～2022/5/6 meh？According to the information, today is the 40th birthday of KCR "Yello Head" trains and also the final ride
Were these the first EMU type trains on the East Rail Line?
Yes, first generation MTR EMU.
@@CaptainM792 Third generation, the second gen was the diesel locomotives from 1950s-1982.
First generation was Steam Locomotives from 1910-1962
In 2001 MLR EMUs were the king of KCR East Rail Line
today is the day that all MLRS retire
I am sad for these trains to retire, but I am happy about the new 9 car trains!
Which yes the R-Trains I remember
we back 😎
黨鐵只會覺得東鐵過到海好成功不會再理會mlr只有我們這班熱心人士會關注mlr
Me thinking that the MLRs will be shortened to 9 cars:
It wont work cuz mlr is already too and broke too many times old and end of its life and plus mlr cant go up on the hung hom new platfroms and curve bends thats why mlr is retirimg
Could you make a video on EAL Extension?
