The trains come in two versions: the C-Train, a manned eight-car train which is used mainly on the Kwun Tong line;[3] and the S-Train, a driverless three-car variant which operates on the South Island line since its opening in December 2016. Similar trains had been ordered for the Tuen Ma line, also known as TML C-Train, which entered service on the Ma On Shan line on 12 March 2017; however, these trains bear a resemblance to the older SP1900 EMUs.
