Improved to Good Article status by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:18, 14 October 2020 (UTC).

Article is long enough and promotion to GA was very recent so it is new enough. It is well referenced, neutrally written, and plagiarism free. I prefer the first hook, being short and interesting. It is inline sourced, but the exact source is a bit unclear. At what page of this long document is it written that the design was for running on five different subway systems? The second hook is also OK, inline sourced, and source is accepted AGF. The image is free, used in the article and easily discernible at 100px. I added (pictured) to both hooks. QPQ Done. I am leaving this as DTK? only so the exact page can be added for the first hook, otherwise it is ready to go. --Muhandes (talk) 17:15, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: According to this, the vehicles were "intended for demonstration on selected portions of the following systems". Wouldn't that be more accurate? In fact, Isn't this what the article says, that they were somewhat restricted? --Muhandes (talk) 17:58, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

@Muhandes: You're correct - I've updated ALT0. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

for the ALT0, for ALT1, good to go. --Muhandes (talk) 06:53, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
