History
This stop was originally named "Pak Kok Stop" (Chinese: 白角站) as it was located at a point called Pak Kok (Chinese: 白角) before Butterfly Bay (Chinese: 蝴蝶灣) was reclaimed. It was then renamed to "LRT Depot Stop" in 1989 (LRT was the abbreviation of Light Rail Transit, the name for the Light Rail system until the early 1990s[1]). On June 13, 2010, the stop was renamed Light Rail Depot Stop, while the Chinese name remained unchanged.
