Hung Hom Station to Transform Into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line
PR040/21 7 June 2021 Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line The new Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) platform at Hung Hom Station (“HUH”) will be opened on 20 June 2021 (Sunday), i.e. one week before the commissioning of TML, and new interchange arrangements for the West Rail Line (“WRL”) and the East Rail Line (“EAL”) will be in place on the same day. A series of upgrading works, including the construction of new platforms, have been implemented at HUH to cope with the full opening of the TML, as well as the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL. The new platforms will be put into service in phases according to the progress of the two projects. While the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL is still under construction, upon the opening of the new TML platform at HUH, passengers have to pass through the concourse to reach the existing EAL platform and the WRL (future TML) platform for changing between EAL and WRL (future TML) at HUH. (Please refer to annex for details). Passengers will have to follow the new interchange arrangements until the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL and the full launch of the new two-level platforms at HUH. By then passengers will be taking the EAL and TML at the new platforms. “Signage with colours corresponding to the relevant rail lines will be installed to direct passengers to the platforms they want to go to. We will also deploy additional staff, put up notices and make public announcements to assist and remind passengers of the new arrangements.

PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 Commences Service
PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 commences service on 14 February 2020 The MTR Corporation is making its final preparation for the opening of Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) Phase 1 on 14 February 2020, commencing services at three new stations, namely Hin Keng Station, the expanded part of Diamond Hill Station and Kai Tak Station. The MTR Corporation will provide special fare promotions for TML Phase 1. Upon the opening of TML Phase 1, passengers travelling on the Ma On Shan Line (“MOL”) will be able to travel to Kai Tak Station in East Kowloon via Hin Keng Station and Diamond Hill Station without the need to interchange. The expanded Diamond Hill Station will become a new interchange station between TML and the Kwun Tong Line, allowing passengers to travel from the New Territories (NT) North and NT East districts to the East Kowloon and Hong Kong Island East districts in a more efficient and convenient manner. Such new routing will help relieve the current peak passenger load between Tai Wai and Kowloon Tong Stations on the East Rail Line. At the end of January, all passenger trains on the MOL will carry out non-passenger trains testing along the new railway section, i.e. between Hin Keng and Kai Tak Stations. Train frequency of the MOL during peak hours will be slightly adjusted to around 3.5 minutes intervals, similar to the operation arrangements upon TML Phase 1 Opening. Passengers are reminded to pay attention to our announcement and arrangements. The timing for the full opening of TML would depend on the implementation of the suitable measures at Hung Hom Station extension and its connecting structures, and is expected to take place in 2021.

Yet, the city of Hong Kong has been formed along narrow strips of scarce flat-land around the harbor and from reclamations of land-fills. Urban fabrics are stretched along water edges of the Victoria Harbor with distinct characters. For the rapidly developing cities, these urban fragments are elemental and essential to sustain.

The Problems Global Food Crisis in the Next 30 Years Global population is expected to rise to over nine billion in the next 30 years. In the meantime, global meat consumption has doubled in the past two decades and is forecasted to further double by 2050. Unfortunately, livestock is an extremely inefficient way to produce food as it exhausts farmlands and water resources, and produces more greenhouse emissions (14.5% versus 13% of all man-made greenhouse gases). We are facing an imminent global food crisis. 2 Meat Consumption in China According to statistics from the Earth Policy Institute, with China’s burgeoning middle class, the country’s annual meat consumption has gone from being one third of the U.S. in 1978 to more than double the American’s today. Global Footprint Network even estimates that with this trend, we will soon need 4.1 planet earths.
