    LC Paper No. CB(4)610/15-16(05) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Progress Update of the Construction of the Shatin to Central Link (As at 31 December 2015) Introduction This paper reports to Members on the progress of the main construction works of the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) as at 31 December 2015. Background 2. SCL, with a total length of 17 kilometres, consists of the following two sections – (a) Tai Wai to Hung Hom section: this is an extension of the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai via Southeast Kowloon to Hung Hom where it will join the West Rail Line; and (b) Hung Hom to Admiralty section: this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. 3. SCL will have ten stations. Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station, the SCL project will involve construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng, Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Wai, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and Admiralty. It is a territory-wide strategic railway project (alignment layout at Annex 1). Admiralty Station and Ho Man Tin Station will become integrated stations providing interchange service to passengers of SCL and South Island Line (East)(“SIL(E)”), as well as passengers of SCL and Kwun Tong Line Extension (“KTE”) respectively. 4. The Approved Project Estimate for the entire SCL project is $79,800 million (in money-of-the-day prices) and the project is funded by the Government under the “concession approach”.

  • PRESS STATEMENT 13 November 2019 MTR Unable to Provide
    PRESS STATEMENT 13 November 2019 MTR Unable to Provide Normal Services Due to Repeated Vandalism by Rioters The MTR network and facilities have been repeatedly vandalised over the past several days. A total of seven rail lines were affected today (13 November 2019) and train service on some of the lines had to be fully or partially suspended. Furthermore, seven stations were forced to close as station facilities were maliciously damaged or operations were disrupted. A large number of commuters all over Hong Kong was adversely affected because of these incidents. The MTR Corporation strongly condemns the rioters’ acts which endangered the safety of passengers, MTR staff and railway operations. The Corporation has reported the cases to the Police and reserves the right to take legal action against the parties concerned. After the end of service hours yesterday, rioters broke into several closed stations to set fires and vandalise trains, stations and trackside equipment. On the East Rail Line, there were arson attacks that targeted two trains stabled at Sheung Shui Station and a train stabled at University Station. Another train stabled at Mong Kok East Station was also damaged. In addition, a track-side signaling equipment room near Fo Tan was attacked. Considering these stations had already been damaged during the day yesterday, the Corporation had no choice but to suspend the train service of the East Rail Line from the start of traffic hours today. Following recovery efforts by engineering personnel, train service between Hung Hom and Tai Wai stations resumed at around 5pm with trains by-passing Kowloon Tong Station.

  • 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.

    LC Paper No. CB(4)1029/20-21(01) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Operating Arrangements for the Tuen Ma Line (Translation) Introduction The Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project will be commissioned on 27 June 2021. This paper informs Members of the operating arrangements for the TML. Background 2. The SCL project consists of two Sections: (a) the Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section comprising the stations of Tai Wai, Hin Keng, expanded Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, Sung Wong Toi, To Kwa Wan, Ho Man Tin and expanded Hung Hom. This section will join the original Ma On Shan Line and the existing West Rail Line to form the TML, while the TML Phase 1 (“TML1”), comprising the section between Tai Wai and Kai Tak, was commissioned in February 2020; and (b) the Hung Hom to Admiralty Section comprising the stations of expanded Hung Hom, Exhibition Centre and expanded Admiralty – this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. The alignment of the TML and updated MTRCL route map are at Annex 1. 3. The SCL is funded and owned by the Government under the concession approach. In preparation for the commissioning of the TML, the Government, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (“KCRC”) and the MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”) make an arrangement similar to that of the commissioning of the TML1 in February 2020. Prior to the commissioning of the TML, the Government will vest the TML in KCRC which is wholly owned by the Government and then KCRC will grant the right to operate the TML to MTRCL under the service concession approach.

  • 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.
