Racecourse is a station on the proposed east section of the South Island Line. If built, it will serve Happy Valley Racecourse and also the Happy Valley area.
[edit] History
The station appeared as Happy Valley Station in previous proposals, and was listed in alignment C in the 2005 proposal, which, if chosen, would have been built together with an interchange with the Island Line at Wan Chai. However, the route via Wan Chai was dismissed in favour of a direct route from Ocean Park to Admiralty, though an option to en route Happy Valley was offered. The construction of the station is under negotiation between MTR Corporation and Hong Kong Jockey Club, which suggests renaming the station to Racecourse Station, already used by another existing station on East Rail Line.[1]
