After the East Rail Line was extended to Admiralty, all old stations will be retrofitted with platform gate doors. The work started a few years ago and is expected to be in service in 2023 at some stations. Stations that have multiple platforms can allow work to be done during the daytime. Most of the time, only the platform being worked on is closed. This is a perfect example of that. All trains bound for Lo Wu and Lok Ma Cahu around 10am to 3pm were diverted to the middle platform, due to floor replacement on platform 1 (last time it was platform 4). As Tai Po Market and Racecourse will be the first batch of stations to get platform gates, the first platform gate component has been installed at platform 4 already. Trains only open one side of doors to prevent passengers from taking the wrong direction train. The middle platform is usually used as a passing loop or a turnaround track.

東鐵綫在延伸過海後，所有舊有車站將會加設月台閘門，相關工程已經在數年前開始，預計於2023年在部分車站使用。如果車站有多個月台，部分工程會在日間時間進行，大部分時間下只會關閉正在進行工程的月台，本影片正是這個情況。當日1號月台正在進行地板更換工程（上次拍攝是4號月台），10時至3時所有往金鐘列車都被改道至中間月台。大埔墟站與馬場站將會成為首批設有閘門的車站，其中4號月台已經安裝第一個閘門的組件。為防止乘客誤乘錯誤方向列車，列車只會開啟一邊車門，大埔墟中間月台一般只會用作避讓列車或調頭。
