Network Improvements PROJECTS
Station Improvement
To enhance the travelling experience of passengers, we are exploring ways to improve respective stations’ facilities along existing railway lines as required. Such improvements works include installing additional staircases/escalators/lifts to connect station concourse and platform, conducting concourse re-layout and refurbishment works to smoothen passenger flow management and modernize the station appearance. Ventilation systems including High-volume Low-speed (HVLS) fans were also introduced to the semi-open stations.
Project Description
The Corporation has been carrying out the station improvement works for the East Rail Line, Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line. We aim to ease the congestion at some spots inside the station and ease the passenger flow.
Kwun Tong Station
To enhance the connectivity of different levels within a station, and improve the passenger flow, we have added lifts and staircase connecting station concourses and platforms. In addition, the station course layout and arrangement was revised and installing additional ticket gates and relocating some ticket gates in some of the exits to improve passenger flow and alleviate passenger congestion at certain bottlenecks.
Shatin Station
To modernized the station appearance and enhance passengers’ comfort, new ceiling system, wall cladding, lighting and ventilation were provided in East Rail Line Stations, including Shatin Station.
Tai Wo Station
Similar to Shatin Station, Tai Wo Station has undergone renovation to provide a refreshing image of the station. Meanwhile, lighting, ventilation fan, and Barrier Free Access at the Concourse were upgraded.
Kwai Fong Station
We are also exploring to enhance the passenger experience in the semi-open station by improving the ventilation. High-volume Low-speed (HVLS) fans were introduced to Kwai Fong Station’s Concourse area, which aims to generate gentle airflow to ensure a comfortable journey even in the summertime. New wheelchair charging points were also installed to enhance the accessibility and promote social inclusion.
Lok Fu Station Entrance A
A new covered ramp will be constructed at Lok Fu Station Entrance A to provide passengers with a seamless and weather-protected experience. This enhancement is particularly designed to benefit wheelchair users, ensuring barrier-free access to the station. The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2027.
