Refurbishment
Refurbishments have been carried out for the 7300 series fleet since 2008.
The first set to be refurbished, 8-car set 7320, returned to service on 8 September 2008. It received a restyled front end with LED destination displays, as well as LCD information displays in the interior.
Eight-car set 7303 was the second set to be refurbished, returning to service on 15 July 2014. This set was retrofitted with a VVVF traction control system similar to that of the then-new 1300 series trains, and it also received other external and internal upgrades. Subsequently treated sets have followed this set's specifications.
