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]

Formations

As of 1 April 2015, the 5300 series fleet consists of four four-car sets (5304 to 5308) and one two-car set (5309).[2]

gollark: I think lockdowns make sense as a way to get a bit more time to implement a long-term solution. Guess what's not really happening?
gollark: I think in practice most countries will have to at least partly unlockdown soonish.
