Kowloon Station (九龍站) is an intermediate station of the MTR Airport Express and Tung Chung Line. It is located at No. 1 Austin Road West, West Kowloon, Yau Tsim Mong District, Kowloon, near the Kowloon entrance of the Western Harbour Tunnel and its toll plaza.

Among the seven stations of the Airport Express, Kowloon Station is the largest one. It is an underground station, and the station lobby is located on the ground floor; the comprehensive development area on the top is called "Union Square", covering an area of ​​13.54 hectares, including residential buildings, office buildings, "Civic Square" "Shopping malls and hotels.

West Rail Line Extension (Kowloon Southern Link) Austin Station is located to the east of Kowloon Station. After the station opened to traffic, there will be no discounts for taking the for transfering between the two stations on foot. Passengers can take the Airport Express at Kowloon Station, where they can enjoy free MTR shuttle services at both stations.

Station Symbol[]

Like other Airport Express stations, Kowloon Station is dominated by light gray. When planning the airport railway, the subway company regarded Airport Express as an extension of the Hong Kong International Airport, and the design of the airport follows the gray and white tone that its designer, the British architect Lord Norman Foster, has always used, so {{ Each station of the Airport Express line also inherits the color of the airport, using gray and white as the main colors of the station, which is different from the colorful subway stations in the past.

Kowloon Station Platform 1 (June 2010)

There are two platforms in Kowloon Station, the upper level (L2 level) is used by Airport Express, and the lower level (L4 level) is the Tung Chung Line platform. The two platforms of Airport Express are side platforms, while the Tung Chung Line is designed as a single platform island.

Since the two lines adopt different tolling systems, there is no continuous channel between the platforms, and the two platforms of Airport Express are even separated by the Tung Chung Line lobby and the platform The escalators in between are separated, so they are not connected to each other.

In addition, there is a confined space under the platform level of Tung Chung Line, which was originally planned as the eastern corridor " East Kowloon Line", so it was reserved when Kowloon Station was built.

However, the East Kowloon Line plan evolved into today's Sha Tin to Central Link, and no longer proposes to set up a station at Kowloon Station, so the confined space of Kowloon Station will no longer be useful in the foreseeable future.
