Tung Chung Line Signalling System Upgrade

Hong Kong's MTR Corporation will carry out overnight signalling upgrade works on its Tung Chung Line this Sunday. This is part of preparations for the partial opening of the Tung Chung line extension later this year. Representatives from the city’s sole rail operator stated that the HK$19.5 billion (US$2.5 billion) project remains unaffected by a counterfeit brick scandal.

Full Extension On Track for 2029

The MTR also confirmed that the full extension of the Tung Chung Line is still on track to open in 2029. Upgrades to the existing system are scheduled to take place in the early hours of Sunday. This work is crucial for providing more efficient and safer services to passengers on the Tung Chung Line.
