Platforms

  • Platform 1: Kwun Tong Line to Tiu King Leng
  • Platform 2: Kwun Tong Line to Yau Ma Tei

If one carefully looks out from the train while moving towards the direction of Shek Kip Mei, there is a reserved space for a track connecting KCR and MTR. This was originally designed to allow MTR Metro-Cammell Trains to be transferred to the Kwun Tong Line when they are unloaded at Hung Hom. But the track was never built as the MTR decided to use lorries to carry all of its train cars to the Kowloon Bay Depot.

MTR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4029 words)
Construction of the MTR was prompted by a government-commissioned study released in 1967.
MTR Corporation has always been reliant on developing properties next to railway stations for its profits (although the rail lines are profitable themselves); many recently built stations are incorporated into large housing estates or shopping complexes.
The MTR system in general is disabled-friendly — the trains have dedicated wheelchair space, the stations have special floor tiles to guide the blind safely on the platforms, and there are extra wide entry/exit gates for wheelchairs to pass through.
