Tsuen Wan West (KCR)
Encyclopedia
Tsuen Wan West is an underground MTR
station located in Tsuen Wan
, the New Territories
, Hong Kong
. It is located between Mei Foo and Kam Sheung Road stations. There is an emergency platform on the southern side of this station.
The construction of the station was very complex. It required the diversion of some roads, the demolition of two factories, part of a nearby park, and the relocation of a ferry pier which originally occupied the site.
There is a large bus and minibus interchange above the station, connecting it with most residential areas, factories, as well as shopping centres in the area. However, the station has had little passenger traffic since operation, prompting some to claim that it is the least used station on the system. At present, only a small number of residents in a few nearby residential estates and workers from nearby factories use the station. However, with the opening of the 80 storey Nina Tower (如心廣場) in 2007 http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?c7|#, traffic is expected to increase.
Nevertheless, the waterfront promenade built along with the station's construction connected the two ends of Tsuen Wan, significantly improved the scenery of the area, and provides a leisure place for many residents of southern and western Tsuen Wan.
It should be noticed that although the station is at the same region of Tsuen Wan Station, the fare is quite different each other. For example, passengers have to pay $1.7-4.0 more if they are going to Hong Kong Island, although it is faster and more convenient. Besides, only out of system interchange is available for the pair.
The 2 railway tracks are located adjacent to each other. The passenger must pick the correct escalator from the concourse to reach their desired platform.
Cross Harbour Tunnel Bus
