Station History[]
Early Planning[]
Kowloon Bay Station was proposed in the first report "Hong Kong Mass Transportation Research" (published in 1967) to propose the construction of a subway in Hong Kong, and then in the "1970 published in 1970 It is also mentioned in the General Report on the Collective Transport Scheme]]". The location of the proposed station construction in both is the same as that of the current Kowloon Bay Station.
Template:Kwun Tong Line Stations (1967) Template:Kwun Tong branch Line stations
Among the latter, the Template:Kwun Tong Branch Line Rainbow to Kwun Tong to which this station belongs is the fourth phase of the project, which is one of the priority stations.
Station Enabled[]
Following the construction of the amendments to earlier systems, the construction of the Kowloon Bay Station also started on 16 February in 1976. [3]Contract No. 210 for the construction of Kowloon Bay Station was won by Kung Wo Construction Co., Ltd. The company also needs to lay an 800-meter-long double-track overhead track near the station. [3]Kowloon Bay Station is a simple reinforced concrete structure built from the ground up. It was built on the site of the former ship repair yaMei Foo and ironworks. A total of 17,000 cubic meters of concrete and 2,450 tons of steel were used for construction. When it was completed, its ground floor was the underground railway revenue storage, which housed coin processing equipment and processed the total revenue of all subway stations at that time. [2]
Kowloon Bay Station was officially handed over to the MTR Corporation by the contractor in 1979July 9, becoming the second completed station (after Lok Fu Station) to correct the early system. [2] Later, in oMei Fooer to make citizens familiar with the automatic toll collection equipment of the subway, and to provide the newly hired employees of the train department with the opportunity to practice handling a large number of passengers, the subway company held a meeting between August 12 and August 25 Kowloon Bay Station will be open to the public from 10 to 6 every day, and tokens will be provided for citizens to try out the ticket vending machines. [4]
Kowloon Bay Station was opened in October 1 1979 with the opening of Template:Initial Modified System, becoming one of the first subway stations in Hong Kong.
Template:Correction of early system stations
Tsuen Wan Line opens to traffic[]
To coincide with the opening of Tsuen Wan Line, Template:Revision of the early system was shortened to Yau Ma Tei in 1982April 26, and renamed Kwun Tong Line, the original train service from Mong Kok to Central will be provided by Tsuen Wan Line. Since then, Kowloon Bay Station has been attached to the Kwun Tong Line and has become the intermediate station of the Line.
Template:Kwun Tong Line Stations (1982)
Additional facilities[]
- platform gate
MTR Corporation decided in January 2008 to set up platform gates and improve the existing ventilation design in the 8 stations of the former MTR that did not have platform safety gates, so as to reduce the problem of passengers falling off the track , the entire program will be carried out at the time of service termination late at night on weekdays. The installation of platform gates at this station started in April 2011 and was completed and put into operation in August 2011.
Station Refurbishment[]
In June 2012, MTR launched the renovation project of Kowloon Bay Station, and covered the original gray-black paper stone pillars and walls in the station with baked-on lacquer panels. The process of replacing the walls and pillars at both ends of the platform with red lacquer panels has been completed successively, and the renovation of the inner walls of the platform has been completed in 2014.
Related Events[]
- August 24, 2019: The MTR closed the station, and a group of demonstrators were dissatisfied and opened the MTR gate. The MTR called the police and arranged for a train to pick up the police officers. <ref>[1]< /ref>
- 2019 September 1: MTR stated that several station facilities were damaged yesteMei Fooay, and the cleaning and repair work of three of them is still in progress. For safety reasons, MTR services have been adjusted :
- Prince Edward Station, Mong Kok Station are closed, Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line trains do not stop at these two stations;
