Light Rail Route 610P, which has been put on hold, is a section service of Route610, traveling between Yuen Long and Siu Hong, passing Castle Peak Road (Yuen Long), Hung Shui Kiu and Lam Tei.
History[]
Since the opening of the West Rail Line in 2003, it has overlapped with the Yuen Long-Tuen Mun section of theLight Rail. According to the survey data of the MTR Corporation, the demand forLight Raillong-distance passengers has declined. The number of daily long-distance passengers has dropped from about 25,700 in 2009 to 2016 About 23,000 a year. In addition, the KCRC launched Routes614Pand615Pin 2004 to free up resources and allocate them to the Tin Shui Wai Area. Criticism of passengers in the gate area.
The Transport and Housing Bureau and the MTR conducted a study on the future development of theLight Railin 2016, and published the "Public Transport Strategy Study" on June 7, 2017, which proposed to restructure the light rail lines in the short term to improve the efficiency ofLight Railservices making the train arrival time more even and accurate. The study suggested canceling the Routes614and615, and opening the 610P line to replace the existing Routes614and615from Yuen Long to Siu Hong. The plan was discontinued after consultation with Tuen Mun District Council and Yuen Long District Council.
Later, the MTR and the Transport and Housing Bureau proposed a new plan to the Tuen Mun District Council Traffic and Transport Committee on July 6, 2018. The MTR stated that it would retain the two Routes614and615, which shows that the plan for this line will be permanently shelved. (However, the frequency of the two lines has been greatly reduced from about 10 to 18 minutes during peak hours to about 21 to 23 minutes, which is the same frequency density as non-peak hours, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among district councilors.)
