The MG2 stock was the first type of passenger rolling stock on the metro system of Rotterdam . The trains were built in four batches between 1966 and 1975. There are a few visual as well as technical differences between the four batches.
First batch : MG2-I series 5001-5027, total 27 sets, years built: 1966-1967.
Second batch: MG2-II series 5051-5066, total 16 sets, years built: 1969-1970.
Third batch : MG2-III series 5101-5126, total 26 sets, years built: 1973-1974.
Fourth batch: MG2-IV series 5151-5152, total 2 sets, years built: 1975
The entire fleet got a technical overhaul between 1985 and 1989. The trains were always limited to the D-section of the North-south line because they were never equipped with pantographs for overhead wire but third rail shoes instead. Thus the trains cannot operate on the A and B-sections of the East-west line. The trains were also never fitted with the ZUB protection system. The fleet consists of 71 sets.
