Tsuen Wan Line (MTR) at AllExperts (976 words)
The Tsuen Wan Line was one of the original lines of the network, thus the initial plan was a bit different from the realised line, especially the names and the construction characteristics of the New Territories section.
Kwai Fong was originally named Lap Sap Wan, which means "rubbish bay" since the station is close to a now disused landfill in Gin Drinker's Bay, and was a bit south of the present station.
The Tsuen Wan Line's northbound track was altered to provide cross-platform interchange with the Tung Chung Line and the new platforms were opened in 1997, nearly a year before the Tung Chung Line started service.
