The MTR's early closure of the station and the flying station arrangements have aroused public dissatisfaction, and demonstrators have ravaged the station facilities. MTR has decided not to provide overnight train service during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is also the first time that no overnight train service has been provided since about the 1990s.
It is about to enter December. According to the management quoted by the labor union, it is planned to provide overnight train services on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve to make the public happy. It is reported that MTR will continue to make risk assessments based on actual conditions and discuss with government departments to make the final decision.
The MTR responded to "Hong Kong 01" inquiries and stated that it has been reviewing the repair progress of the damaged facilities and continuously conducting risk assessments to restore normal train services as soon as possible.

In addition, since June, MTR has closed stations or suspended train services in response to public events on several occasions. It has also suspended the Mid-Autumn Festival overnight train service.
Tan Jianzhao, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Railway Federation of Trade Unions, said that the union met with management on Thursday (21st), and mentioned the arrangements for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve trains, citing management's initial hope to provide overnight train services because it came to the city for many months The road is down and the social atmosphere is tense. I hope that the situation will be slightly eased a few days ago, and overnight train services can be provided during the festival to make the public happy.
