Design
editWhile broadly similar to the 5300 series trains built at the same time using electrical equipment from withdrawn rolling stock, the 5700 series trains were built from new.[1]
Formations
editAs of 1 April 2015[update], the 5700 series fleet consists of six four-car sets (5601 and 5701 to 5705).[2] The last train was retired on 30 November 2019, with the introduction of the new 9500 series sets. No 5700 series cars have been preserved.
