The fleet of 16 trainsets was delivered between 1989 and 1996 in eight batches, batches 16 to 23, with differing seating configurations.[1] The first set was delivered on 5 June 1989, with the last set delivered by 10 June 1996.[3]
In 2002, the fleet was modified for wanman driver-only operation.[1] In 2004, LED destination indicators were added to the sides of the trains, coinciding with the introduction of limited-stop "Rapid" services on the line.[1] A programme of life-extension refurbishment was subsequently implemented, including new seat moquette.[1] As of March 2014, five sets have been treated.[1]
