CAF-Train Reformation Programme for Line 3 (Cyan Gray Line) [WIP]
Line 3 (Cyan Gray Line) will have MTR's CAF-Train solely as the rolling stock. Line 3 is running specially configured 6-car trains instead of the original 8-car arrangement. Therefore, the original 12 trainsets running on Tung Chung Line (TCL) and 11 trainsets running on the Airport Express (AEL) need reforming to get the 23 desired trainsets.
