context_page_description: The Sha Tin to Central Link is an expansion of the MTR rapid transit network currently under construction in Hong Kong. It is divided into two sections.
  The first section, codenamed “Tuen Ma Line”, runs from Tai Wai station in the New Territories to Hung Hom station in Kowloon. The Tai Wai–Hung Hom segment will connect the Ma On Shan line and West Rail line, forming the new Tuen Ma line. Operation of the Tai Wai to Kai Tak section began on 14 February 2020. The opening of the section from Kai Tak to Hung Hom has been delayed to the third quarter of 2021.
  In anticipation of the Tuen Ma Line, the existing Kwun Tong line was extended from its previous terminus at Yau Ma Tei to Whampoa station. This extension includes the new Ho Man Tin station to provide interchange with the Tuen Ma Line. The Kwun Tong line extension was opened on 23 October 2016.
  The second section, codenamed the “East Rail Line”, runs from Hung Hom to Admiralty on Hong Kong Island. The Hung Hom–Admiralty segment will be an extension of the East Rail Line. This cross-harbour extension is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.
context_section_description: The East West Corridor will operate using a combination of both new and existing rolling stock, while the North South Corridor will have its existing rolling stock fully replaced with new stock.
  Contract 1141A for 17 8-car C-Trains for the East West Corridor was awarded to CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles in December 2013. Designed in 14 months, the first train, officially named East West Line Train, arrived in Hong Kong in June 2016 and began passenger service on the Ma On Shan Line on 12 March 2017.
  Contract 1141B for 37 9-car R-trains for the North South Corridor was awarded to Hyundai Rotem of South Korea in December 2012. The first delivery took place in 2015 l with all new trainsets in service by 2020, fully replacing the 12-car Metro Cammell EMUs which will then be retired.
  Contract 1151 for 36 additional SP1900 cars was awarded to Kinki Sharyo of Japan in January 2014. They are being used to convert all SP1900 trains into 8-car formations to serve the East West Corridor. Previously, they have operated in 4, 7, and 12-car formations on the existing lines.
