Station signage after MTR-ization (May 2010)

Yuen Long Station has two platforms arranged in an island platform arrangement with platform screen doors installed during the construction of the station. Each platform can accommodate a 9-car train, and currently only the first 8-car train is used so that the driver's cab is aligned with the staff area to facilitate the conduct of various train operations in the staff area as far as practicable and to facilitate the train captain to carry on the tradition of the West Rail (i.e. the train captain will step out of the driver's cab to ensure that the doors of the train have been properly closed after pressing the door closure button before he returns to the driver's cab to continue driving).

Interchange concessions[]

To Lok Ma Chau[]

Following the opening of the Kowloon Southern Link, MTR Corporation posted interchange guides along the West Rail Line stating that passengers may interchange to the East Rail Line at Hung Hom Station to travel to Lo Wu Station or Lok Ma Chau Station. However, geographically speaking, Lok Ma Chau Station is actually located north of Yuen Long Station, and for passengers travelling from areas such as Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai to Lok Ma Chau, following the MTR's interchange instructions would require travelling south via Kowloon Peninsula and the eastern New Territories. Compared to the KMB Route B1 connecting the two stations and the New Territories GMB Route 75 operating between Yuen Long (Fook Hong Street) Minibus Terminus and Lok Ma Chau Station, The MTR journey thus appears circuitous, time-consuming and costly (KMB B1 fare: $13.2; MTR fare: $55.6), leading to criticism that the interchange guidance has misled passengers.

Emergency feeder services[]

In case of train service disruption at this station, free shuttle bus services may be provided by MTR. The pick up and drop off point for shuttle buses at this station is located at Long Wo Road, which can be accessible via , or follow staff instructions to the boarding point.
