We are delighted to have received this approval from the Chief Executive in Council which allows us to progress with the upgrade project for the Peak Tram system and facilities. Creating a more exciting and comfortable experience for Peak Tram visitors will ensure this iconic recreational experience continues to grow hand-in-hand with Hong Kong for future generations. We are most grateful for the support and guidance of the Hong Kong Tourism Commission in helping us to make this project a success,” said Martyn Sawyer, HSH Group Director Properties. “We have carefully designed an enhanced customer experience and have considered all aspects to minimise service disruption, whilst keeping sustainability factors a priority,” said May Tsang, General Manager, The Peak Complex. “The upgrade project will result in covered, temperature-controlled queueing and waiting areas with entertainment features for up to 1,300 passengers. The new tramcars will be able to carry 210 passengers instead of 120 at present and visitors’ waiting time will be significantly reduced.” Ms Tsang explained that the larger capacity meant new longer tramcars, hence the need to completely replace all the haulage and control systems, lay new track rails and strengthen the track foundations and bridges, as well as extend the Lower Terminus.
