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). With 27 stations spanning a route length of approximately 56 km, the TML connects the east and the west of the New Territories and extends the railway network into To Kwa Wan and Kowloon City areas. Upon the opening on 27 June, passengers will be able to enjoy a more extensive, environmentally friendly railway network with six interchange stations connecting the TML to four existing railway lines including the East Rail Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Kwun Tong Line, and Tung Chung Line. -End- About MTR Corporation Every day, MTR connects people and communities.
