    LC Paper No. CB(4)360/20-21 (01) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Progress Update of the Construction of the Shatin to Central Link (As at 30 September 2020) (Translation) Introduction This paper reports to Members on the progress of the main construction works of the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) as at 30 September 2020. 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. There are ten stations in SCL. Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station, the SCL project involves construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng, Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, Sung Wong Toi, To Kwa Wan, 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 East Rail Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line and South Island Line (East)(“SIL(E)”), as well as passengers of Tuen Ma Line and Kwun Tong Line Extension (“KTE”) respectively. 4.

    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.

  • PR042/21 12 June 2021 the Tuen Ma Line to Kwa Wan Station Open
    PR042/21 12 June 2021 The Tuen Ma Line To Kwa Wan Station Open Day Offers Early Glimpse of Station Highlights to Visitors With the full opening of the 56-km Tuen Ma Line (TML) on 27 June 2021, the brand new To Kwa Wan Station and Sung Wong Toi Station will also come into service. Around 2,600 visitors with registered tickets (each ticket for up to four persons for entry at the same timeslot) enjoyed a preview of To Kwa Wan Station at an Open Day today (12 June 2021), ahead of the official opening. From 10am onwards, pre-registered visitors arrived at the station to experience the new customer service concept and station facilities, including the Smart Customer Service Centre and caring facilities. They also met with the robot assistants who were on duty at the station. One of the focal points of attention is a 54-metre wall installation situated at the non-paid area of the concourse. Entitled ”Home”, this unique station artwork was created by a local artist Ms Leung Mee-ping with the participation of local residents. Over 100 residents in the area have contributed household items with sentimental value that is captured in the short synopsis in the art piece. “MTR Corporation strives to connect communities and we were glad to see the visitors, including local residents, railway enthusiasts and the general public, sharing their excitement and anticipation for the opening of the new line,” said Dr Jacob Kam, Chief Executive Officer of MTR Corporation. “The full TML will provide not only a fast and convenient railway service to the residents nearby, but also enhanced connectivity between various parts of Hong Kong.” An Open Day will be held at Sung Wong Toi Station, another brand new station along the TML, for pre-registered visitors to visit tomorrow (13 June 2021).

  • Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues
    LC Paper No. CB(4)1504/17-18(01) Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Issues relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of MTR Corporation Limited Purpose This paper briefs the Subcommittee on matters relating to the settlement of existing railway facilities of the MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL), and explains the measures taken by the Government and MTRCL on the impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities. Impact of nearby construction works on existing railway facilities 2. Generally speaking, foundation works causing settlement in nearby structures is not uncommon. To protect railway safety, the Government and MTRCL have put in place stringent monitoring mechanisms to handle settlement of railway facilities arising from construction works within the railway protection area. Regulatory regime of the Government 3. The Government has always accorded top priority to railway safety and has put in place a stringent regulatory system. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) regulates and monitors the safe operation of the railway system according to the Mass Transit Railway Ordinance and its subsidiary regulations. The Buildings Department (BD) regulates the planning, design and construction of buildings and associated works on private land to ensure compliance with building safety standards according to the Buildings Ordinance (BO). 4. To safeguard the structural safety of railway facilities, construction works located within the railway protection area as stipulated under Schedule 5 of the BO should comply with a more stringent set of standards. BD would require the registered building professionals responsible for the works to monitor the effect arising from the building works to the adjacent railway structures according to the requirements set out in the BO and its subsidiary regulations, and the “Practice Note for Authorized Persons, Registered Structural Engineers and Registered Geotechnical Engineers” (PNAP) issued by BD.
