The Metro Cammell EMU (also known as M-Train) is the oldest variation of electric multiple unit that operates on the MTR rapid transit railway system in Hong Kong. 768 cars were ordered, built by Metro Cammell (now Alstom Transportation), and were refurbished starting in 1998 by the Australian company United Goninan.
