Wu Kai Sha is the southern terminus on the Tuen Ma line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. It is located between Sai Sha Road and Sha On Street in Wu Kai Sha, serving the many housing estates and schools nearby. The station was originally named "Lee On station" when the Ma On Shan line was under construction, because the station is located to the east of Lee On Estate.
History
On 21 December 2004, Wu Kai Sha station opened to the public with the other KCR Ma On Shan Rail stations.[1]
As part of the related works of the Shatin to Central Link project, work began in 2012 to retrofit Ma On Shan line stations to fit 8-car trains, and automatic platform gates were installed at stations on the line beginning in November 2014. The works were completed in December 2017.[2][3][4]
As part of the main works of the Shatin to Central Link project, the Ma On Shan line was extended to Kai Tak station and rebranded the Tuen Ma line phase 1 on 14 February 2020;[5] the line was fully opened on 27 June 2021, when it was extended to Hung Hom station and absorbed the West Rail line. Wu Kai Sha station remained the terminus of the extended line.[6]
