thread_title: Details of the article

message: I removed the links to the non-existant train station articles as I don't think articles on individual train stations on this system can or will be encyclopedic, they were then added back. If you have any reason to think they are please post it here. cohesion ☎ 07:17, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This article itself is already NOT encyclopedic enough, but I think stations match the case since London Underground stations have their own entries too.  (Of course it would be better to make Hong Kong railway entries in Chinese version too, but there's not enough even generic entries.) Patrickov 09:23, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: Should this article contain so much information about the KCR? It might make more sense to have most information up to 1996 in the Kowloon–Canton Railway article. Jc86035 (talk) Use to reply to me 03:34, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point ...there is kind of a confusing potential for overlap. To make matters worse, much of the railway's history is actually found in the Kowloon–Canton Railway Corporation article. Rather than 1996 I would be more inclined to make the cutoff closer to the double-tracking and electrification, which is when the railway became a real commuter line rather than a rural service.

replies: text:   Maybe the information about the modernization could be in both KCR and this article? (If all three articles are restructured and sourced properly, they probably have a good chance at passing GA as well.) Jc86035 (talk) Use to reply to me 13:49, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The history of this railway is scattered across Guangzhou–Kowloon through train; East Rail line; Kowloon–Canton Railway and a few specific ones, like Beacon Hill Tunnel (Hong Kong).  It's a mess that badly needs rationalising. 112.119.221.3 (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

message: The content of East Rail line cross-harbour extension could mostly be pasted directly into East Rail line, given that the table (which is basically half the article) was copied from there anyway. The Sha Tin to Central Link article would be sufficient for a discussion of the extension's construction. Jc86035 (talk) 18:42, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[East Rail line cross-harbour extension]] 

message: I decided to edit part of the overview on The East Rail Line from Rapid Transit to Commuter Rail.
The East Rail line was originally built as a commuter rail system when it was still KCR and still functions like one.
This line travels from Kowloon to The New Territories and even up to Lo Wu close to the Chinese border. And it runs at grade in some areas.
Also the fact, The Tung Chung Line is also classified as commuter rail.
Even the rolling stock used for this line is difference from other rolling stock that functions as rapid transit including the colors used.

replies: text: After the EAL extension, it would be more or less a rapid transit service, especially with the R trains and potential frequencies of 29 trains per hour. KeepElephant (talk) 01:23, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The East Rail Line is technically a commuter rail system 

message: Shouldn't it be called the 'East Rail Line', not 'East Rail line'? MTR prints the East Rail Line, or any other MTR Line, with a capital L. This is also prevalent with wikipedia pages for other MTR Lines.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KeepElephant (talk • contribs) 01:28, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
