Hung Hom station
Hung Hom station

Hung Hom (Chinese: 紅磡; Cantonese Yale: Hùngham) is a passenger railway station in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is the southern terminus of the East Rail line and an intermediate station of Tuen Ma line domestic services of the MTR network, as well as cross-border through trains to mainland China. The station is one of four Hong Kong ports of entry on the MTR network; the others are Lo Wu, Lok Ma Chau, and West Kowloon. As the station is located next to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel's northern portal, it is also served by many cross-harbour bus routes. Opened as the new southern terminus of the Kowloon–Canton Railway (KCR) on 30 November 1975 by Queen Elizabeth II, the station was originally named Kowloon station after the older terminus of the same name, which it replaced. The station was substantially expanded in the 1990s, at which time it was given its present name. The KCR British Section was also renamed East Rail Line in order to differentiate it from the new West Rail Line, which opened on 20 December 2003 and was extended to Hung Hom station on 16 August 2009. Under the Sha Tin to Central Link project, which has been under construction since 2012, much of Hung Hom station has been reconstructed. A new immersed tube south of the station will carry East Rail line trains across Victoria Harbour to Central, while the West Rail has been extended via eastern Kowloon to connect to the former Ma On Shan line, with the combined line being renamed "Tuen Ma line".
