* 2009: At about 7:30 in the morning, a train of Coupled-set Light Rail Vehicles traveling on Route **610** was on its way to Tuen Mun Ferry Pier , it is suspected that the train conductor did not realize that the train was composed of Coupled-set Light Rail Vehicles and stopped at the wrong location at Hong Lok Road Stop (when using a single car, it stopped at the second half of the platform), so that the door was stuck outside the range of the platform.
Kowloon Bay Depot

**Kowloon Bay Depot** (**九龍灣車廠**, **KBD**) is a MTR Kwun Tong Line depot located underneath Telford Garden in Kowloon Bay, with Kowloon Bay Station and MTR Headquarters Building located next to the depot.

The depot is indirectly connected to the Choi Hung Station, where the central track is set up. In 1970, the Kwun Tong Line and the Template:East Kowloon Line shared this depot. In order to avoid the returning East Kowloon Line trains affecting the Kwun Tong Line schedule, the return trains from Diamond Hill Station to the depot will pass through the central track of Choi Hung Station. The East Kowloon Line project was eventually shelved and the central track at Choi Hung Station was rendered unnecessary.

The Kowloon Bay Depot was the first depot to be built on the MTR system and therefore had the role of a major depot. The central control room was located at this depot until 1998 when it was moved to the Tsing Yi Operations Control Centre with the opening of the Airport Express. And indeed, in addition to the Kwun Tong Line fleet, major repairs and modifications to the Tseung Kwan O Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line and Disneyland Resort Line trains happen at this depot.

Light Rail Route 771

**Light Rail** **Route 771** is a proposed **Light Rail** route, which first was mentioned in the first edition of the 2003 Light Rail Reorganisation Plan (which has been shelved). It is a semi-circular route (9-shaped circular route) in the Tin Shui Wai area, serving 13 stations (8 of which would have been served with a mono-directional service).

## Relationship with Light Rail Route Diversion

Although this route has not been formally and routinely implemented, but in Tin Shui Wai, when the Tin Shui and Tin Yiu sections have accidents, the MTR may consider diverting Routes **705** and **706** to the same alignment as this route.

## Independent Intervals

Light Rail Route ****610P**** , which has been put on hold, is a section service of Route **610** , traveling between Yuen Long and Siu Hong, passing Castle Peak Road (Yuen Long), Hung Shui Kiu and Lam Tei.

## History

Since the opening of the West Rail Line in 2003, it has overlapped with the Yuen Long-Tuen Mun section of the Light Rail . According to the survey data of the MTR Corporation, the demand for Light Rail long-distance passengers has declined. The number of daily long-distance passengers has dropped from about 25,700 in 2009 to 2016 About 23,000 a year. In addition, the KCRC launched Routes **614P** and **615P** in 2004 to free up resources and allocate them to the Tin Shui Wai Area. Criticism of passengers in the gate area.

The Transport and Housing Bureau and the MTR conducted a study on the future development of the Light Rail in 2016, and published the "Public Transport Strategy Study" on June 7, 2017, which proposed to restructure the light rail lines in the short term to improve the efficiency of Light Rail services making the train arrival time more even and accurate. The study suggested canceling the Routes **614** and **615** , and opening the 610P line to replace the existing Routes **614** and **615** from Yuen Long to Siu Hong. The plan was discontinued after consultation with Tuen Mun District Council and Yuen Long District Council.

Later, the MTR and the Transport and Housing Bureau proposed a new plan to the Tuen Mun District Council Traffic and Transport Committee on July 6, 2018. The MTR stated that it would retain the two Routes **614** and **615** , which shows that the plan for this line will be permanently shelved. (However, the frequency of the two lines has been greatly reduced from about 10 to 18 minutes during peak hours to about 21 to 23 minutes, which is the same frequency density as non-peak hours, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among district councilors.)

## Service

According to the "Public Transport Strategy Study", this route will use 7 LRVs.

Sha Tin Freight Terminal

**Sha Tin Freight Terminal** is one of the Freight Terminals in the MTR Freight system, located next to Sha Tin Station.

## Usage

The usage is low, and it is only used for irregular station maintenance works. It was originally used to store freight cars from the mainland being loaded and unloaded here, hence its name.

## History

In the 1990s, the Sha Tin Freight Terminal was one of the main cargo stations of the East Rail, often seeing goods cars. However, due to the decline in the utilization rate of the freight yards, the Kowloon-Canton Railway converted the **Sha Tin Freight Terminal** into a track workshop for storing tracks, ballast and engineering vehicles. Due to the low usage, the Lifeline Express came to Hong Kong and parked at the Sha Tin Track Works. With the Kowloon Southern Link opened to traffic, both the East Rail Line and West Rail Line were connected, and construction materials began to be shared, further speeding up the closure of the freight yard. In the late 2000s, it also served as a storage facility for maintenance equipment while Ho Tung Lau Depot was being refurbished.

## Current Situation

At the beginning of 2009, the MTR moved the engineering materials of the track workshop to the Ho Tung Lau Depot, and the track workshop was also demolished. Now it has been rebuilt into a Siding to park various types of maintenance equipment, freight cars, diesel locomotives or MTR R-Trains which have just arrived in Hong Kong. Since the wharf at Hung Hom is no longer used, new rolling stock deliveries to the East Rail Line also occur here, alongside any removal of vehicles from the line.

Due to the lack of space in the depot, six CKD0A locomotives equipped with the new CBTC signaling system were arranged to berth here. After switching to the new signal system, two decommissioned G16 locomotives and 3 G26CU locomotives were then stored here. On March 28, 2022, one locomotive, being 60 "Peter Quick" was returned to the locomotive depot in Lo Wu for preservation. The remaining 4 EMD locomotives were temporarily transferred to the Fo Tan Freight Yard on May 15, 2023, and then moved back on the 24th of the same month.

Airport Island Angle Station

**Airport Island Angle Station** is one of the turn stations of **Ngong Ping 360**. The station is located on Chek Lap Kok South Road, Hong Kong International Airport, Chek Lap Kok, New Territories, near Scenic Hill.

**Ngong Ping 360** is 5.7km long and has two turning stations along the way. After the cable car departs from Tung Chung, it passes through Cable Towers 1 and 2A and enters the Airport Island Turning Station. The cable car will turn 60 degrees here, and then climbs towards North Lantau Country Park, passing the Nei Lak Shan Angle Station to Ngong Ping, and vice versa.

## History

1995, the Hong Kong Tourism Association (the predecessor of the Hong Kong Tourism Board) proposed the construction of a Tung Chung crane system. In 1999, the MTR Corporation proposed to add an intermediate station at the southern end of Chek Lap Kok in the hope of attracting airport passengers. In 2000, the government decided to build a cable car system from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping, with a station at the airport along the way .

At that time, the airport station was planned to be built near Scenic Mountain Airport Fuel Depot. The Airport Authority stated that it would be potentially dangerous for passengers waiting at this station. In addition, the construction of the station would in disguise restrict the future expansion of the fuel depot. , so in 2002, the final decision was made to not stop at the station. On the airport island, only a transfer station without passenger services will be built.

Peak Hours

**Peak Hours** or **Rush Hours** refers to the morning and afternoon periods on weekdays, during which a large number of passengers commute (that is, to and from their residences and work/school locations), using commuting vehicles There are more passengers during this period than during non-peak hours. In order to cope with higher passenger volume, train frequencies will usually be more than non-peak hours, but carriage occupancy rate (crowding degree) will usually be higher.

In Hong Kong, the peak hours are about 7:00 am to 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, but for traffic in remote areas such as the Light Rail , the morning and afternoon peak hours start and end earlier and later respectively, for example, the morning peak hour (morning rush) starts at 6:30 am, and the afternoon peak hour (night peak/evening peak) is between 5:00 pm at 8:00 pm.

In terms of Saturdays, many companies have implemented a five-day work week in recent years, resulting in lower passenger numbers during peak hours on Saturdays (especially morning peak hours) than Monday to Friday. Therefore, some railway lines in Hong Kong do not have peak hours on Saturdays.

On Sundays and Public Holidays, due to the scattered time of passengers traveling and the lower passenger volume at the same time period, frequencies are usually less frequent than usual. However, congestion in vehicles still occurs from time to time on such days, especially when large public events (including large exhibitions and demonstrations) are held.

## Peak Hour Services

These are services that are only provided during Peak Hours:

* MTR Tseung Kwan O Line North Point to and from LOHAS Park
* Light Rail Route **751P**
* Some local trains (except for emergencies and  the period when the service time starts or is about to end) and special trains, including:
	+ Kwun Tong Line trains with Ho Man Tin as the terminus
	+ East Rail Line trains from Tai Po Market and Fo Tan to Mong Kok East/Hung Hom
	+ Tung Chung Line trains between Hong Kong and Tsing Yi
	+ Tsuen Wan Line and Island Line from Admiralty to Tsuen Wan or Chai Wan

North Island Line

**North Island Line** is a proposed reformation of the existing Island Line and extension of Tung Chung Line of the Hong Kong MTR metro system. According to the documentary, *Rail Projects Under Planning 2000*, released by Highways Department, the current Tung Chung Line will be extended from Hong Kong terminus eastward and two new stations, Tamar Station and Exhibition Station are proposed on the extension. The new route will then join and substitute the Island Line from Fortress Hill Station to Chai Wan terminus. Tseung Kwan O Line will have new constructed tunnel connected from its North Point terminus to Tin Hau Station without passing Fortress Hill Station and substitute the remaining western half of Island Line. The difficulties of constructing North Island Line include updating the signalling apparatus of Island Line to be compatible with the apparatus which has been installed in Tung Chung Line.

## Discussion of plan

The extension of Tung Chung Line forms part of the third phase of land reclamation of Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island's northern coast. Due to the disagreement from public and political parties such as Society for Protection of the Harbour and the insufficient traffic demand, the MTR Corporation has never given the proposal a commencement date. To add more uncertainty, the proposed Shatin to Central Link and the merger of MTRC and KCRC also influence the fate of North Island Line. Due to said reasons, in 2003 Hong Kong Government has postponed the extension to beyond 2016. However, the MTRC included the Sha Tin to Central Link and the North Island Line details in the diagrams of the latest schemes of the West Island Line and South Island Line, released in 2008. Those diagrams have excluded the now cancelled Central South Station and Racecourse Station.

Urban Lines

**Urban Lines** (**市區綫**, **URL**) can refer to the following from the narrowest to the broadest sense:

* Lines that are operated by Urban Line M-Trains: Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line, Tseung Kwan O Line (some netizens called these lines "The Four Urban Lines", "The Guan Tsuen Hong Kong General" or "Guan Tsuen Island General")
* All routes applicable to MTR City Ticket: Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Island Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, South Island Line (MTR Metropolitan Ticket will be used after the launch), and it is also the definition of the term "Urban Line" in the current internal train operation of MTR
* The route of the former railway, except Airport Express and **Ngong Ping 360** (used before gate area merger), September 28 2008 into a gate area
* Heavy rail routes of MTR, except Airport Express (used after Gate Area Merge), become one Gate Area

* According to MTR's "Ticket Issuing Conditions", Urban lines include the Island Line, Kwun Tong Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Tung Chung Line, Tseung Kwan O Line, Disneyland Resort Line, East Rail Line, Tuen Ma Line and South Island Line.

There are multiple versions of MTR's internal interpretation of "Urban Line", from DUAT Lines (Disneyland Resort Line, Urban Lines, Airport, Tung Chung) can be seen, and the term "Urban Lines" sometimes only refers to "Kwun Tong, Tsuen Wan, and Islands". It is subdivided into K&T (Kwun Tong Line and Tsuen Wan Line) and I&T (Island Line and Tseung Kwan O Line). After the South Island Line was opened to traffic, I&T was renamed IS&T, which belonged to the same group as Island Line and Tseung Kwan O Line, and was included in the "Urban Lines" in terms of train operation.

Beacon Hill Tunnel

File:Beacon hill tunnel.jpg
**Beacon Hill Tunnel** is a tunnel in Hong Kong on the original Kowloon-Canton Railway from Kowloon to Canton, linking Kowloon Tong to its south and Sha Tin to its north, between Kowloon Tong and Tai Wai stations. Services through the tunnel are provided by MTR.

There are two Beacon Hill Tunnels indeed. One is the 1910 tunnel, the Chinese name is 煙墩山隧道. Another is 1981, 筆架山隧道.

## History

A team of surveyors were commissioned to survey the route for the KCR British Section in 1905. Two routes have been proposed:

1. Construction of a tunnel 1.5 mile (2.4 km) long through Beacon Hill then following the west coast of Tolo Harbour
2. Routing through Western New Territories and Castle Peak Bay

Although option 2 was less of an engineering challenge, the overall route was longer, and passed through less economically active areas; therefore option 1 was selected. Works on the Template:Convert railway to the border started early 1906. Construction of the tunnel, referred to as Tunnel No.2 in the plan (since it was the second tunnel starting from Kowloon), was the greatest engineering project in Asia of its time.

The tunnel opened with rest of the line in October 1910, together with four smaller tunnels. It accommodated a single standard track with a standard gauge of Template:RailGauge. It has, however, been notorious for its fume problems throughout its operating life; due to its steep gradient of 1%.

A double tracked, electrified tunnel was built to 30 to 40 metres west of the original one as part of the modernisation of the KCR. Work started in 1978, and was completed by 1981, the railway now the MTR East Rail Line. The original tunnel was closed upon completion of the new tunnel, and is now occupied by a 750 mm diameter town gas pipeline.

## Dimensions

### First tunnel

* single track.
* 2.2 km long.
* horseshoe shaped, 5.2 metres width by 5.8 metres high above rail level.
* up to 427 metres below ground.
* tunnel lining upgraded in 1982 and 2008.

### Second tunnel

* double track.
* 2.3 km long.
* horseshoe shaped, 11 metres width by 9 metres high.

Cableway System

**The Cableway System** is another type of railway system that uses cables to drive trains, compared to cable railway, this type is to build supports for supporting cables at intervals along the line, and drive cables to pass through various bearings The support bracket runs, and the carriage is buckled on the drive cable to run.

At present, there are only two **cableway systems' *in Hong Kong are namely Ocean Park Cable Car and **Ngong Ping 360**, both of which belong to the*** *circular **and***  **'Detachable type**, the car is driven by a tightly looped circular drive cable around the rotation of the large pulleys at both ends of the station outside the station, and another set of slow sliding system is used to facilitate the up and down inside the station and access track.

Ex-KCR locomotives

ah, the former glory of KCR, with austerity class the black War department livery. they were all, unfortunately, scrapped. but it doesnt mean we dont have informations about them, here are some of the austerity's numbers:

KCR number: WD number:

21 78660

22 77268

23 70805

24 77509

25 77490

26 77478

27 77269

28 70820

29 78694

30 77450

31 78659

32 79237

note: none ex-KCR austerity surives today, rumours said they were transported to the middle east by the east indian trading company and scrapped, but sadly, records are not found, so their state remains a mystery

Aside from Austerity classes, there are narrow gauges which worked at the branch lines which two of them still surives today. One being in Hong kong, and another one in the uk.

number:2227 bagnall 0-4-4PT, now at the hong kong railway museum, restoring

number:2228 bagnall 0-4-4PT, now restoring at vale of rheidol, but probably now they use it for spare parts for other locomotives

you might now think,"you've only been talking about steam engines, what about diesel?" Well, there you go

51 and 52 being the first two of the order of EMD G12s, they entered service in 1955, while the others, (53-55) entered in1957

they all retired at 1990s, with only no.51, sir alexander remains in hk, others went on a trip to be purchased by chicago freight car leasing Australia, re-entered service as TL152 to TL155

they then have their final orders of diesels purchased, 5 Siemens 'eurorunner', from 8001-8005, but with the new emerged mtr, the plans of having freight is gone, so they were mostly scrapped

ok, one last topic, the "yellow-head train". They are special memories to many because they were the first electric multiple units in hong kong. they were built by metro-cammell, which is based in birmingham in britain, they were then purchased by alstom, the famous french company (which the english hates) that made TGV, the french bullet train, only one surives at ho man tin depot now, you can only see it in special open-day events now, sad.
