“The Next Station Is HKU!”

Mass Transit Railway’s West Island Line

Arrives at the University

The platform of the HKU Mass Transit Railway station.

With the completion of the three-kilometre extension to Western District of the Island Line of the Mass Transit Railway after almost six years of construction, the HKU station was officially opened on

December 28, 2014.

Located 70 metres below ground, the HKU station is currently MTR’s deepest and biggest underground station in the network.

There are six exits in the HKU station of which three are directly linked to the HKU campus – two to the Main Campus and one to the Centennial Campus. A highlight of the station is the nearly-100-metre corridor that presents a century of HKU through rare historical photos.

The other two new stations, namely Kennedy Town station and Sai Ying Pun station, began service in December, 2014 and March, 2015 respectively, marking the commencement of full service on the

Island Line.
