   Hi there, I do notice the adverts do show a AVOD system on the trains. I believe these are covered up now. What did they use to show? And was it changeable? I feel like it could have been used in present day for repeating ads instead if still in service.

     The back of the seat is equipped with a small TV screen. In the early years the screens showed real-time flight information and travel information, but was later replaced by Airport Express images and the time in major cities in the world.

     And the upgrade.

     In 2008, MTR spent HK$27 million to refurbish the interiors of 11 trains on the Airport Express Line, including replacing velvet seats with leather seats, removing small TVs on the back of the seats, and installing four 23-inches on each passenger card. Large LCD TV, with independent speakers and volume controls on the back of the chair
