context_page_description: Kowloon Tong is a station on MTR's Kwun Tong Line and East Rail Line in New Kowloon, Hong Kong. The station serves Kowloon Tong and its vicinity, including Yau Yat Tsuen, the Festival Walk shopping centre, City University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist University.
  It is in both Kowloon City District and Sham Shui Po District.
  This station serves as one of the three interchange stations for the East Rail Line, leading up to the New Territories and entry point to mainland China. Therefore, it is one of the busiest stations in the system.
context_section_description: There is a reserved space for a track connecting the East Rail Line and the Kwun Tong Line in the westbound tunnel just outside Kowloon Tong station towards Shek Kip Mei. The space was originally designed to allow Metro-Cammells to be transferred to the Kwun Tong Line when they were unloaded at Hung Hom, but the track was never built as the MTR decided to use lorries to carry all of its train carriages to the Kowloon Bay Depot.
  Note that the platforms for both the East Rail Line and the Kwun Tong Line are called platforms 1 and 2.
