MTR Hong Kong Corporation the world leading leaders in public transport providers has enhanced New Boarding Arrangements for East Rail Line……. Change for the future! To prepare for the train service extension to Hong Kong Island in 2022, new 9-car trains will be introduced gradually on the East Rail Line from 12 September this year. They will initially serve alongside the existing 12-car trains. So, queuing locations will be different. Passengers just need to follow the coloured signs and public announcements in stations to get on the trains easily!

Soon the extension of the East Rail line Across the Harbour toe Hong Kong Island will be put into service.. In which travel will be a lot quicker.. Right.. ? ………. That’s Right, When Travelling to Hong Kong Island, Apart from the Usual 12-Car Trains. (Eastern Rail Line – Lok Man Chau, Lo Wu, Tai Wai, Hung Hom… Then towards the Victoria Harbour from Hung Hom towards the Island Line-  by passing Wan Chai towards the Exhibition Center  Admiralty, Central – Sheung Wan.. ) ….. Trains on East Rail Line will be Gradually be Converted to Nine Car Trains.. in which the conversion will complete in various stages over the eighteenth months from September 2020….. So Queuing Locations will be different..

Are you ready.. ?……. There will be blue and green signs on platforms on the passenger information displays and instructions and announcements from our staff on the platform signage to facilitate queuing arrangements… Then you can easily board the trains with a twelve car train also with a Nine Car Train…… The New Nine Car Train features with very spacious and bright lighted interiors with a new Dynamic route map showing live locations of the Train in which you’ll never miss getting of the train where you want…During this Period There will be two types of trains running on the East Rail Line the Nine New Car Train also the twelve Car Train.. Passengers may Need Some Time to get used to this ……

Another SCL milestone – “New members” joining the East Rail Line…!
To facilitate the East Rail Line (EAL) extension across the harbour under the Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project, the new EAL signalling system will commence operation starting from 12 September (Saturday). It is not easy at all to replace the signalling system on an operating railway line as most of the works had to be completed within the short period of non-traffic hours. With the efforts of the teams who spent over 400 nights racing against time, the new system will soon be put into service.

Other members to greet you on the same date are the new 9-car EAL trains manufactured in South Korea! They will gradually replace the existing 12-car trains over the coming 18 months. Rest assured that we will strive to maintain smooth train services during the mixed-fleet operation. Measures will also be in place at stations to assist passengers for comfortable journeys.

【東鐵綫候車新安排】轉變，係為咗迎接未來！ 喺2022年，東鐵綫將會延伸至港島；今年，東鐵綫亦會做好準備，由9月12 日開始，除咗平日嘅12卡列車外，新9卡列車亦會陸續登場，所以月台排隊位置會唔同咗。大家只要留意返車站嘅顏色標誌同廣播，就可以輕鬆上車！

【沙中綫又一新里程 –「新隊員」加盟東鐵綫！】
為咗配合沙中綫項目將東鐵綫延伸過海，東鐵綫新信號系統喺9月12日（星期六）開始運作，而我哋嘅「新隊員」— 全新韓國製東鐵綫列車亦會陸續同大家見面！

喺營運中嘅鐵路綫更換新信號系統絕不容易，大部分工序都要喺短短非行車時間內完成。經過工程同車務團隊400幾個夜晚分秒必爭嘅奮鬥，新系統將會喺9月12 日正式啟用！

同日出場嘅主角仲有全新9卡列車！喺未來18個月，佢哋會陸續取代現有嘅12卡列車。呢段時間，兩款列車會同時喺東鐵綫「混跑」，大家放心，公司會確保期間車務運作暢順，車站亦有措施協助乘客適應，等大家有個舒適嘅旅程。到時見！

Currently In Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong – there’s numerous major infrastructure projects going on currently in future proofing Hong Kong, one is the continuous public transportation world leader MTR Hong Kong Corporation- construction… that construction is the Shatin to Central Link Project is the cross Harbour tunnel of Victoria harbour in which will be operational ready by year 2021 least..

As part of the construction process is the immersed tube technique that’s developed for the Cross Victoria the fourth in which the first three is in between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island  in which between the Central to Tusen Wan also from Hong Kong –Central to Tung Chung Line.. The Third is in between the north Point to Yau Tong connection… In which the fourth is Hung Hum towards the Admiralty in which connects to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition center… in which journey time is least than five minutes.. in which currently the line is eighty percent complete with phase one..

In construction of the Victoria Harbour Tunnel that runs inbetween Hung Hum also Admiralty is five steps in in the immersed Tube Tunnel Construction, in which starts out in fabrication yards in former Shek O Quarry in which has been transformed into the Tunnel  construction yard of pre-cut Tunnels units are prefabricated in Shek O….. Each of the eleven unit’s pre cased measuring in 160 meters with each of twenty three thousand tonnes…  Once final constructed the Dam in which they are constructed in is floated in making its way towards the Victoria Harbour dredging site… As the fabrication site is flood to allow the transportation of the eleven units with fleet of tug boats towards its destination construction site in which the Victoria Harbour’s seabed is previously prepared as the tunnels make way around the Hong Kong Island towards temporary mooring site in which is located in Tseung Kwan O making it’s Temporary seven point five Nautical Miles.. In which each unit have Surveying towers with integrated floating Platoons in which the eleven units are connected together with the reinforced structural protection to securing the tunnel in which they placed with at least than five centimeters deviation with precision ….

The Shatin to Central linkage to Hong Kong..  Does comes with environmental Geographical constraints, as it transported through typhoon shelters in Causeway bay with careful planning and execution is required it is carefully constructed..

In Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong – there’s numerous major infrastructure projects going on currently in future proofing Hong Kong, one is the continuous public transportation world leader MTR Hong Kong construction…. In which one MTR Lines is in between Shatin to Central linkage project in linking the upper Eastern parts of New Territories- Hong Kong in which currently sits at eighty percent complete in expected to be running by mid-2019 …. Even though Hong Kong is known for its iconic megatroplis towering skyline towers landscape also Hong Kong below is massive network of underground tunneling of connecting integrated labyrinth mazes in which connects the city region to transport millions of commuters around dense city skyscrapers, while under the that skyscraper city is there are many people working hard to make the city greater..

Under those skylines of skyscrapers is a massive Shatin to Central linkage in progress to near completion is an underground maze in which is undergoing a round the clock construction…  in which the Shatin to Central link is consisting in two parts… In which part one runs between Tai Wan and Hung Hom…  Part two runs in between Hung Hom to Admiralty in which links to the Hong Kong  Convention and Exhibition center’s substation in Wan Chai then onwards to Admiralty,,,,

Some of the linkage section components tunneling construction is utilizing the Tunneling Boring Method in which MTR Hong Kong has been world leaders in innovating new technologies in engineering transport transportation to commercial also residential designs , construction, management  in which the innovative Boring tunneling works gives it innovative advantages, with an intensive massive  vertical shaft   is constructed excavation of launching shaft and retrieval shaft with carefully crafted with military grade like GPS precision facilities with way points to connect to it targeting site in which the boring tunneling journey starts at Fenwick Pier Street ……once the excavation/ retrieval site is constructed with Boring tunneling machine in together like assembly of a massive unit  in which measuring at one hundred meters in lengthy with weight of six hundred tonnes with tunneling diameter of seven point for meters it begins to boring into its target path  excavating and assembly it tunneling walls at the same time instantly fabricating the tunnel lining helps to reinforce the tunnel structure also minimizing impacts of surround buildings..

During the boring process it removes the debris through a sealed conduit in which it boring tunnels through many highly dense neighbourhoods   from To Kwa Wan Station negotiating around also facing and overcoming oncoming complications as construction process begins on main roads also public facilities also overcoming a ever complex geological structure of Hong Kong in which with constant monitoring of soil conditions. …. During the process it helps to minimizing the impact of the communities through the control lessening of sound pollution, also dust…  during the construction there will be five more stations along the Shatin to central in which from Hin Keng, Kai Tak, Sung Wong, To Kwa Wan towards the Hong Kong Exhibition Center .. In which connecting west to east Hong Kong New Territories which passengers can travel more conveniently from Shatin towards western rail line finally connecting at Tuen Mun ….
