A new Tung Chung East station under the Tung Chung Line Extension project is being built between the operating Sunny Bay and Tung Chung stations and tracks. Large scale track diversion works are required to connect the existing Tung Chung Line to the new track section and station. Turnout installation is considered as one of the most critical steps. Key preparations are already in motion, including track slewing, sleeper replacement and overhead portal installation. By breaking down the work procedures and utilizing the “Golden Two Hours” during non-traffic hours, we minimise the impact on the daily operation of the existing Tung Chung Line. #NewRailwaysGoBeyondBoundaries #TungChungLineExtension #TungChungEastStation #TrackDiversion #GoldenTwoHours

Stay tuned for the new Sydney Metro City & Southwest Project launching this year ! Exciting developments ahead!
At a media event at the new Sydney Metro Crows Nest Station this morning, the NSW Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Transport, Jo Haylen officially announced the commencement of Trial Running on the city section of the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project. This is a major milestone for MTR Australia who, after more than a year of intensive testing and commissioning of the new infrastructure, including the new tunnels, trains and stations, now hand the baton to the operator and maintainer, Metro Trains Sydney (MTS) to complete the Trial Running phase. Trial Running, a crucial step in achieving accreditation before passenger services commence, follows the completion by MTR of integration testing between the existing Metro North West Line and the new city section, demonstrating the trains, signalling and station systems are all working together and functioning seamlessly along the length of the line. Since the rigorous testing and commissioning program started in April 2023, more than 9,800 hours of a total of 11,000 hours of required testing has been completed along the 51.5-kilometre line from Tallawong to Sydenham. When world-class metro services extend beyond Chatswood and into the city this year, passengers will benefit from fully accessible, safe and direct public transport services with record travel times in the peak. Congratulations to our MTR team and our major contractors – Alstom, UGL, Hitachi Rail GTS, Gilgen and Degnan – and all involved in achieving this major milestone for the Sydney Metro project.

Nostalgia is in the air! Let’s take a journey through 45 years of MTR ticket collection. Each ticket in the meticulously preserved collection holds historical significance and remains in pristine condition — sharp and stunning. Behind each ticket is a unique story that deeply connects us to the vibrant past of MTR and showcases the history of our city’s public transportation system. #MTR45 #MTR45Years #TogetherinMTR

At the CEDD Construction Revolution Summit, MTR’s Capital Works Director, Mr. Carl Devlin shared insights on the crucial role of effective "Project Governance" in the successful delivery of mega railway projects in Hong Kong. With the construction of several new railway projects underway, 2024 is a significant year to lay a solid foundation for the projects to usher into the construction peak in the next few years. Recognising the unique nature of each project, successful projects are always a result of effective and tailored governance that drives behavioral change. Devlin and his team are advocating effective "Project Governance" by adopting best practices of governance, assurance and project management frameworks, allowing timely decision making and increasing certainty of project outcomes to deliver world-class railway projects that align with Hong Kong's development. #ConstructionRevolutionSummit #NewRailwayGoBeyondBoundaries #NewProjects #ProjectGovernance

Our Northern Link project team collaborated with the charity Mini Movements Inclusive Arts Association to visit the Joyful Garden Nursing Home in Kwu Tung. Together, they brought back the charm of old Hong Kong to the elderly residents by creating miniature art depicting Hong Kong in the 1970s, triggering nostalgia and reminiscing about railway memories. Connecting with the community with the past and future, the project team also engaged the elderly in creating their own art with mini calendars and stickers featuring the future Northern Link. Our team also updated the elderly on the future railway developments, noting that the Kwu Tung Station on the East Rail Line, due for completion in 2027, will further enhance the connectivity of the Kwu Tung area where the nursing home is located. #NewRailwayGoBeyondBoundaries #KwuTungStation #NorthernLink

The Tuen Mun South Extension will extend the existing viaduct of the Tuen Ma Line southward along the Tuen Mun River. Upon project completion, the journey from Tuen Mun Station to the Tuen Mun South area will be cut down to a swift 5-minute ride. Temporary working platforms are being built on the Tuen Mun River to prepare for the foundation and structural works needed for the viaduct and the forthcoming A16 Station. A dedicated team of engineering divers is deployed to assist with the underwater tasks, including riverbed levelling and rock foundation laying, facilitating the construction of these platforms. Engineering diving, a highly specialized discipline, plays a crucial role in facilitating the river works of the project. Our divers face various conditions both above and under the river, maintaining high alertness and instant communication with the team above water to ensure the rock materials are properly laid on the riverbed. #NewRailwayGoBeyondBoundaries #TuenMunSouthExtension #A16Station #EngineeringDiving #UnderwaterExperts
