The Treno Servizio Regionale (TSR) represents a fleet of double-decker electric multiple units deployed by the Lombardy-based railway operator Trenord to serve commuter routes in the Milan metropolitan area, with a focus on the suburban rail network.
Description
The composition of each TSR trainset consists of multiple railcars, including some equipped with driver’s cabs and designated spaces for passengers with disabilities (referred to as MCH units), while others lack these features (designated M units).
LeNord assigned the classification E.711 to the MCH cars and E.710 to the M cars. In total, production included 208 MCH vehicles and 252 M cars. Train formations vary from three-car sets arranged as MCH + M + MCH up to six-car configurations composed of MCH + multiple M units + MCH.
History
Developed by AnsaldoBreda and Firema, the TSR units were designed as an advancement over the earlier Treno ad alta frequentazione (TAF) EMUs introduced during the 1990s. The initial TSR vehicle was handed over to LeNord—later integrated into Trenord—on 1 August 2006.
The final unit was delivered by 31 March 2012.
