KCRC East Rail Extension 九廣鐵路東鐵支線 |
|
The 1994 Railway Development Strategy identified the rail extension as a high priority project to provide a direct rail link between the New Territories and the heart of the Kowloon Peninsula. It also serves as an interchange with the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) at Tsim Sha Tsui to relieve the increasingly overcrowded interchange at Kowloon Tong. |
|
The works include a 1.5km underground railway, a new East Tsim Sha Tsui (ETST) Station, a traction substation at Ho Man Tin, and a pedestrian subway system running under Mody Road, Blenheim Avenue, Signal Hill and Middle Road linking the new ETST station with the MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station. |
