The MTR Urban Lines Vision Train (Chinese: 港鐵市區綫願景列車; also named MTR CSR Sifang EMU, also known as Q-Train) is a new rolling stock order by MTR Hong Kong in July 2015. The order was originally planned for 78 trainsets, but the order was increased to 93 trainsets at HK$6.05 billion (US$779 million) on grounds that it provided "better value for money". These trains will replace all 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.
In accordance with MTR press release, these new set of trains will be featured with improved lighting system, new dynamic route maps, double branched handrails and soft material for the straphangers.
All train doors and coupler systems will be provided by Faiveley Transport. Coupler systems are automatic and semi-permanent couplers.
