MTR today (30th) launched a new web page for the cross-harbour section of the East Rail Line, announcing the latest complete MTR line map, and released a number of photos of the new stations and crescent platforms, so that the public can see it as soon as they wait for the opening to traffic.
The MTR expects that the cross-harbour section of the East Rail Line will be opened to traffic from June to July next year. Most of the works have also been completed. The relevant district councillors have been notified that the East Rail will be fully operational for a few nights during the overnight period from November to January. Train dynamic test.
The MTR has published a special webpage on the cross-harbour section of the East Rail Line, introducing 3 new stations and new platforms, and released the complete MTR route map after adding the new station. The section from the exhibition to Admiralty Station will cross Hong Kong Island Presented in the form of a line.
The Exhibition Station is the only new station on the East Rail Line's cross-sea line. The special website introducing the station uses a dark blue mosaic as the top picture.
The exhibition station is a three-story underground station, including the station concourse and two-story platform. Two entrances and exits will be set up to connect the Great Eagle Center and the Harbour Center, and there will be elevators connecting to the footbridge in Wanchai District.
When the cross-sea section of the East Rail Line is opened to traffic, the expansion of Admiralty Station will be opened simultaneously, and multiple escalators will be added to reach multiple floors of the station. At present, two escalators have been opened to passengers for the first time.
At present, East Rail Line passengers transfer to the Tuen Ma Line at Hung Hom and need to go to the lobby first and walk a distance to the Tuen Ma Line platform.
According to the MTR website, the new platform of the East Rail Line, which is located at the lower level of the platform of the Tuen Ma Line, will not be opened simultaneously until it is opened to traffic. Passengers should reduce the time for boarding and alighting in transfers. I believe they will still have to wait at least half a year.
