Design
While broadly similar to the 5700 series trains introduced at the same time, the 5300 series trains were built using new bodies combined with electrical equipment from former 5000 and 5200 series EMUs.[1] The last set was sent for scrap on 23 December 2019.[2] No 5300 series cars have been preserved.[citation needed]
