Causeway Bay North or Victoria Park is a station on MTR's proposed North Island Line. This proposed station will be situated and located at the northern part of Causeway Bay or the northwest of Victoria Park, Hong Kong. This station, if built is part of MTR's North Island Line (NIL) proposal on Hong Kong Island which will see the Island Line be integrated with the Tseung Kwan O Line.[1]
KCR has also proposed adding Causeway Bay North Station as part of Shatin to Central Link, to be situated between Exhibition Station and Hung Hom Station. However, a major drawback was that local traffic would be severely impacted, including closing Gloucester Road for 5 years. Eventually this station was eliminated from Shatin to Central Link after KCR and MTR merger.
Currently, only North Island Line Victoria Park Station remains as a potential future extension in MTR reports, but not as an intermediate station on Shatin to Central Link.
In 2013, the name "Causeway Bay North" was mentioned in the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000 as an intermediate station on the North Island Line, instead of "Victoria Park".[2]
