Starting 15 January, MTR introduced two 8-car trains on Ma On Shan Line (MOL) and, over this year, the company will gradually replace the existing fleet of 4-car trains on the line.
The 8-car train project will pave the way the operation on the future East West Corridor under the Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project.
The existing MOL will be integrated with the Tai Wai to Hung Hom section of the SCL and West Rail Line to form the East West Corridor. Targeted for completion in 2019, the East West Corridor will enhance the connectivity of the entire railway network by providing a direct train service between the eastern and western New Territories.
