Tai Po Market (; : ) is a station on the East Rail line in the New Territories, Hong Kong. Located near Uptown Plaza, in Tai Po, the station has three tracks and four platforms. Platform 1 is for northbound trains to border crossing stations at Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau and platform 4 is for southbound trains to Hung Hom, Kowloon while platforms 2 and 3 use the same track and is reserved for peak hour traffic. History. The old Tai Po Market station was located in the Tai Po Market proper on 1 October 1910. The  old station is a 10-minute walk from the current one. During the electrification of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (British Section) (now known as the East Rail line), the station was relocated to the current location on 7 April 1983, while the old station building became a part of the railway museum. On 2 May the same year, KCR was electrified to Tai Po Market, full line was electrified on 15 July 1983. The station went under major renovation which was completed in 2009. During the renovation, it remained open though most of the retail outlets were closed. Station layout . The station consists of two island platforms, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the same centre track. This centre track serves as the terminus of some trains during the day, and the departure of some extra trains southbound during morning peak hours. Northbound trains that arrive here after 11 p.m. use the centre track instead, as Platform 1 is reserved for late night trains that terminate at Tai Po Market instead of continuing towards Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau.
