As many students rely on this route to travel to/from class alongside those needing to access Tuen Mun Hospital, the base route is often busy as well. In addition, many residents living in Tin Shui Wai often travel on the local section to/from Tin Shui Wai Station where they can transfer to/from the Tuen Ma Line, which often results in overcrowding during peak hours. As route 751 is operated with both single and double car consists, single cars can often get full within the first few stops or at Tin Shui Wai Station.

Background:

* During rush hours in the morning, there is a high demand from Hong Shui Kiu to Lam Tei Station to Siu Hong, Routes **610**, **614**, **615**, **751** are often full on this section, effective February 2021, MTR will arrange runs **187'*,*** *188'* as extended to Siu Hong in the morning peak hour to relieve overcrowding on this section, and provide more departures for passengers in Tin Shui Wai to go from Hang Mei Tsuen to Siu Hong.
* On September 1st, 2022: Route **507P** was put into service, MTR arranged train sequence **188** to arrive at Siu Hong Station and then go directly to Route **507P** ; although the run number on the **507P** line was changed to **423** at the end of the same month, this arrangement is still maintained.
* Starting from September 5th of the same year, MTR arranged train sequence **187** to run on Route **615** after arriving at Siu Hong.

Run 187's arrangements:

1. **751** : Depart from Ho Tin Stop and change to this route after arriving at Tin Yat
2. ****751P**** : From Tin Yat to Siu Hong, the route is the same as that of **751**
3. ****751P**** : No Passenger via Kirin and Siu Hong to Lam Tei Stop diverted to **751**

5. ****751P**** : From Tin Yat to Siu Hong, the route is the same as that of **751** , then be taken out of service (return to depot).

Automated announcements will not be broadcast once the external displays are signed as a non-numbered short turn, although the driver will manually make announcements to remind passengers.

**Run 142: Tin Wing→Siu Hong**

Due to busy time in the morning, there is a high demand from Hung Shui Kiu to Lam Tei Stop to Siu Hong Stop, the routes **610**, **614**, **615** and **751** is often full on this section, so the MTR will arrange one of the **706** lines **706** at the end of February 2021. are scheduled to be at Tin Shui Wai to Clear Passengers and Return to Depot during morning rush hours, Changed to through operation this special frequency to  Siu Hong Stop is to ease the passengers on this section, and provide more frequency for passengers in Tin Shui Wai to go to Hang Mei Tsuen to Siu Hong Stop.

2. ****751P**** : From Tin Wing to Siu Hong, the route is the same as **751** (will not be a numbered route and signed as Siu Hong)

* Because the next stop and GPS system on board trains does not have non-numbered shuttle/short turn route diversions programmed, the MTR Mobile app and real time displays will not display arrival information correctly. Automated announcements also will not function when the train signed for a non-numbered short turn route, although the operator will manually broadcast announcements as necessary.

**Train sequence 423: Tin Yat→Tuen Mun Ferry Pier (via Ching Chung, Choi Yee Bridge)**
