The class MR is an adaptation of the German
class 628.0 and was first delivered in 1978. The trains were initially coupled as MR–MR carriages back-to-back. Starting in 1981, the class MRD was introduced to better accommodate passengers' luggage, and from then on the MR–MRD formation has been used. The trainsets can run
in multiple, with up to five carriage pairs in a train having been used.
