The Tuen Ma Line was opened to traffic in June this year, but the cross-sea section of the East Rail Line, which is also part of the Sha-Central Line project, has been officially opened to traffic repeatedly. It is planned to start operation in 2019 when the original project was launched and will be extended to the first quarter of 2022 next year. Open to traffic.

However, the project has recently been affected by the progress of East Rail's conversion to 9-car trains and the introduction of new signal systems. It is still unknown whether the revised target can be crossed in the first quarter of next year.

"Hong Kong 01" received the latest news, stating that after the MTR has been catching up with the progress, the latest date for opening to traffic is the second quarter of next year.
