Hong Kong West Kowloon railway station

West Kowloon station (abbreviated WEK), also known as Hong Kong West Kowloon and West Kowloon, is the terminus and only station of the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link (HSR). The station connects to Mainland China's HSR network (world's longest) through dedicated tunnels and includes a Mainland Port Area where the laws of Mainland China are enforced. It was constructed by MTR Corporation.The terminal railway station is located in Jordan, West Kowloon, north of the proposed West Kowloon Cultural District between the Airport Express and Tung Chung line's Kowloon station and the Tuen Ma line's Austin station. The footprint of the new station extends into the basement of the West Kowloon Cultural District.The original scheduled opening date of 2012 was delayed until 2015 following the shake-up of high-speed rail construction across China after the 2011 Wenzhou train collision. While construction of the station was still planned for completion in 2015, major flooding occurred in the railway tunnels under construction on 30 March 2014. This resulted in great damage to the tunnel boring machines. Internal MTR reports suggested causes were incomplete tender drawings, site surveys, and planning before construction began. The station was formally opened on 4 September 2018 and high-speed trains started to run to destinations in Mainland China from 23 September 2018.RTHK reported that the final cost of the construction was 30% more than the initial estimate.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced that West Kowloon station will be closed from 12AM on 30 January 2020, until further notice.
