After the East Rail Line is extended across the sea, the whole line will be extended to about 46 kilometers, with 16 stations in total, including 4 interchange stations, including Tai Wai, Kowloon Tong, Hung Hom and Admiralty stations, which can be connected to 5 existing MTR lines Railway lines, namely Tuen Ma Line, Kwun Tong Line, Hong Kong Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line and South Island Line.
In the sea-crossing section of the East Rail Line, the Exhibition Station is a new station.
The MTR pointed out earlier that in the future, the journey from Hung Hom to the HKCEC will only take about 5 minutes, and the journey from Hung Hom to Admiralty will take about 7 minutes, which is obviously faster than taking the cross-harbour tunnel bus at the CHT.
Passengers do not need to get off the train at Hung Hom Station and can directly cross the sea.
It takes about 3 minutes from Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Station to Admiralty Station, or about 10 minutes from Kowloon Tong to Hong Kong Exhibition Station.
