SPECIAL TRAIN SERVICES FOR CHING MING BEST IVAL
*
Special passenger train services will be operated between
Kowloon and Wo Hop Shek during the Ching Ming Festival period to cope
with the expected increase in commuters.
Eleven up-trains will ply between Tsim Sha Tsui and Wo Hop
Shek Cemetery between 6.15 s.m. and 4.44 p.m. on Firday (April.5) and
Sunday (April ?) while a similar number of down trains will be operated
between 7.40 a.m. and 6.14 p.m. These special trains will not pick up
passengers at the Mong Kok Station.
At the same time, all up and down local passenger trains will also
not pick up passengers at the Mong Kok Station between 8 a.m. and 3.10 p.m. on
these two days.
During this period, passengers wishing to board at the Mong
Kok Station should go to the Tsim Sha Tsui Station. Holders of season and
monthly tickets will be allowed to board these trains at Tsim Sha Tsui
without extra charge.
A spokesman for the Kowloon-Canton Railway said that additional
special trains would be operated in the late evenings if necessary.
He said that there would be no advance booking for all types of
railway tickets.
