Tin Shui Wai Stop (天水圍站) is an interchange stop/station between the MTR Light Rail and Tuen Ma Line, located under the Tin Shui Wai Station.

Stop facilities[]

There are three Light Rail platforms at the Tin Shui Wai Stop, which are used as the terminus of Routes 705 and 706, as well as for Light Rail Route 751 as an intermediate stop. There is a loop on the west side of the stop for trains to U-turn, but at present it is only used by a few empty trains and Light Rail Route 751P. The first (cancelled) version in 2003 Light Rail Restructuring Plan was designed for the U-turning of trains on Route 771. To the west of this loop is Railway Interchange, located on Railway Interchange code-named B.
