Siu Sai Wan (MTR)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siu Sai Wan was a proposed station of the MTR of Hong Kong. Plan was revealed in 2001 to extend the Island Line to Siu Sai Wan on the eastern end of the Hong Kong Island, after many calls from the Eastern District Board (later District Council) since 1991. Although the population size in Siu Sai Wan are large enough to support a station, the alignment of the existing Island Line makes it difficult to extend the line from the terminus Chai Wan Station. Such an extension would require a U-shaped tunnel passing through the Pottinger Peak. An alternative plan was to build a Y-shaped branch from Heng Fa Chuen. The plan was later shelved, despite continued calls from the District Council.
