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！

Current as the evolution of the Tramways trams as seen in many countless times in which some have been modified into mobile museum exhibitions, mobile interactive art centers, into a mobile events center that travels as one of Hong Kong Innovative advertising billboards that travel along the Tramways line on Hong Kong Island is a double-decker driverless tram designed for the city of Hong Kong in the post-Covid era. This highly innovative design concept incorporates industrial design, transportation design, public design, urban mobility and sustainability. The project includes exterior, interior and tram stop design. With the Coronavirus pandemic, people are shunning public transport and relying much more on private transport. We wanted to reimagine public transport in the post-Covid era from a prevention perspective….Especially in the densely populated city of Hong Kong, where social distancing is hard to achieve……..

Designed by Andrea Pointi a Hong Kong Italian designer in which his studio Ponti Design Studio Ltd….. Unit 1004, 10th Floor, Hollywood Centre,…233 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong SAR- China-People’s Republic of China.. ..

Ponti Design Studio  concepts conceptualised The idea of designing a tram is no coincidence: trams are one of the city’s landmarks and the tramways celebrate their 116th anniversary this year. The concept of social distancing, which limits people’s freedom to move and interact became the design challenge and focal point for the new concept. The name Island references the innovative design of the interiors, where large circular benches facilitate social distancing and passengers sit facing outwards in a radial pattern. The exterior design is inspired by the Hong Kong urban landscape, which features vast surfaces of glass and rounded-corner buildings. Natural light floods the interiors during the day through the curved windows and a domed top, which also provide awe-inspiring views at night. ….

The driverless technology optimizes the interior space of the tram, making it easier to manage travel times and increase onboard safety. The tram has a retractable connector for rapid charging at tram stops. Large vertical LEDs enhance visibility in all weather conditions. The interior design contrasts with the exterior. Minimalist design, charcoal black walls, soft circular seating, wooden floors and trims with natural finish all create a neutral and friendly environment. This chromatic diversity, in addition to the dark colour palette, frames and accentuates the beauty of the Hong Kong urban landscape. The simple tram stop structure has sleek, essential lines. Being open on both sides, it facilitates a linear, orderly flow of people and a healthier environment. The graphics guide passengers through the boarding and payment process, made by Octopus Card, before boarding. This streamlines the boarding procedure and optimizes the available space inside. Island explores a wide spectrum of design aspects, from the product to the urban landscape. It represents the forward-thinking spirit of Hong Kong, and introduces a new concept of public transport that overcomes the practice of social distancing. We shouldn’t be dividing and separating but instead rethinking public spaces with a seamless, integrated and effective design approach…..

Recently at HKIA Hong Kong International Airport  joining the airport team to combat the coronavirus is the Intelligent Sterilisation Robot (ISR). The robot can move autonomously and sterilise up to 99.99% of bacteria and virus in the air and on object surfaces using UV light, 360-degree disinfection spray-heads and 0.3um air filtering. The sterilisation process could be as short as 10 minutes. With the technology developed in Hong Kong, this robot has been used mainly in hospitals. HKIA is the world’s first airport to deploy the sterilisation robot in airport operations.

機場最近找來一位新成員協助抵抗疫情。這款Intelligent Sterilisation Robot (ISR)智能消毒機械人可全自動化移動，並以紫外線消毒燈﹑360度消毒噴頭及0.3um空氣過濾器，消滅在空氣中及物件表面上近99.99%的細菌及病毒，過程最快只需10分鐘。 此項技術由本地科研公司硏發，以往多用於醫院，而香港國際機場是全球首個機場應用此智能消毒機械人。

 It is always our first priority to ensure the health and safety of our passengers and staff. In response to COVID-19, we have stepped up our measures at HKIA to combat the coronavirus.

保障機場旅客及員工的健康和安全是我們的首要任務。面對2019冠狀病毒病疫情，我們已加強機場的防疫措施。

The “Ding-Ding” in which iconically called for the stopping signal bell that it makes to signal a stop onto to the various stops in between from west to east side of Hong Kong Island..

In recollecting those untold Tramways stories, in which is like a time machine that collect stories from memorable timeless moments in everyone lives whom travelled within with those historic furnishings also whom watched travelled away as it grew up with the evolution of changing Hong Kong… in which the Hong Kong Tramways have invited you to share your timeless memorable moments as you ride the Ding Ding’s…. in which there’s a mobile Exhibition  [“Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” Tram #61 Exhibition] ceekayello (CKL) believes that art should be accessible to anyone, anywhere.

From 16 April to 23 June 2020, four site-specific artworks created by Amanda Tong, Frédéric Bussière, GoHung and Jun Matsumura 松村 淳 are each displayed on a moving tram allowing everyone to enjoy the sculptural artworks and installations when travelling on the iconic transportation.

Designed and made using fading crafts and techniques in local tram depots, HK Tramways is chosen by “Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” for its cultural and historical significance to pay tribute to local craftsmanship, and also demonstrates how art could be publicly accessible, as well as a contribution to the society.

Ranging from an interactive ceramics installation by Amanda that captures the sound of Mahjong shuffling, to Frédéric’s animation triggered by the tram movement, Jun’s ceramic installation utilising the natural light from the upper deck window, as well as GoHung’s immersive work that allows passengers to experience the life of a caged bird within the tram…

By displaying these thoughtful artworks in CKL’s carefully curated tram, they hope to demonstrate the relevance of these fading crafts and skills with a creative and contemporary approach, giving modern meaning to these respectful classic crafts.

【”Classic Craft, Modern Meaning” 61號電車展覽】

ceekayello（CKL）深信：藝術應該是屬於任何人，不分時間、不分地點都能擁有的。

由2020年4月16日至2020年6月23日，由 Amanda Tong、Frédéric Bussière、GoHung 和松村 淳創作的四幅特定場地藝術品會在行駛中的電車上展出，讓所有乘客在此標誌性的交通工具上乘坐時都能欣賞新奇有趣的雕塑作品和裝置。

香港電車是全港唯一在本地採用傳統手工藝和技術進行設計和製造的交通工具，因此「Classic Craft, Modern Meaning」選擇了在香港電車上進行展覽以表彰其文化和歷史意義，希望向本地手工技藝致敬，讓公眾可近距離接觸傳統藝術的魅力，從而回饋社會。

從 Amanda 捕捉麻雀洗牌時互相擊打的聲音而創作的新奇互動陶瓷裝置，到 Frédéric 運用電車行駛動態時所觸發雀鳥的優美動態，再到淳利用上層甲板窗戶而滲透迷人自然光的陶瓷裝置藝術，以及 GoHung 的沉浸式藝術作品，讓乘客以新角度於電車中體驗籠中鳥的生活…

通過 CKL 於電車上精心策展的藝術品，他們希望以創造性和現代的方式，為這些值得我們尊敬的本土手工（Classic Craft）注入現代意義（Modern Meaning）。
