Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

Moved the following here:

Currently the West Rail provides local service on its own. No inter-city service is offered, making it effectively more like a metro instead of a commuter railway, although it was built in commuter railway standard, and was expected to accomodate other trains in future.

The distinction is not entirely clear (and useful), and at least some viewed that the metro should be primarily underground. Furthermore West rail is intended to join East rail as an integral system which is regarded as a sub-urban system crossing non-urban areas. The statement (commentary in nature) is therefore not desirable. -Hlaw 09:19, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The statement was descriptive rather than commentary. --14:12, December 8, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, this section is not clear. Does 'local service' mean 'stopping service' (ie. in which trains stop at every station) and 'inter-city service' mean not stopping at every station? What are the 'other trains' mentioned? The above comment was over two years ago, so is anyone else looking at this?! Earthlyreason 09:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] No. of Trains

The number of trains for West Rail (Hong Kong) should be 22 instead of 23.
