The A1 (also known as Guangzhou Metro Line 1 Trains) is a rolling stock built by the Adtranz and Siemens Mobility from 1996 to 1997 for the Line 1, with operation in Guangzhou Metro.[1] They are refurbished from 2021 to 2024 by CRRC Guangzhou Rail Transit Equipment in Dazhou Stabling Yard.

Since 29 December 2002, A1 trains were assigned for service of Line 2 until the A2 trains delivered, which in turn were replaced with A4 trains.

History

On 16 November 1993, the Siemens Mobility awarded the contract to build the rolling stock for the Line 1 of Guangzhou Metro. The first train was delivered on 9 April 1997, entering service on 28 June 1997, with the final train delivered on 15 March 1999.[6]
