History
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 wanmandriver-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]
Livery variations
Originally delivered in a livery of black with red and white, the 1000 series trains were repainted from 2000 into a new livery of black, blue, orange, and white.[1] A number of "revival" livery variations subsequently appeared, with set 1019 receiving a light blue and white "100 series style" livery in 2003, set 1085 receiving the original 1000 series style black with red and white livery in 2013, and set 1049 receiving a red with white "500 series style" livery in 2014.[1] Set 1091 received a new livery of white with lime green, light blue and navy blue in 2015, followed by sets 1043 and 1061 in 2016 and 2019 respectively.[4]
