Studies undertaken in association with British

Airports Services Ltd. (BASL) have led to the

conclusion that a new airport should be served

by a high capacity, heavy rail passenger system

(as from opening date) together with new

highway links. For Scenario 5, with ä new

airport at Chek Lap Kok, it is assumed that the

best rail system would comprise one along which

both a dedicated airport rail service and a

public rail service would operate.

For

Scenario C, with a new airport in the Western

Harbour, a dedicated airport rail service only

is considered to be more appropriate.

The PADS study assumes for long term planning

purposes that constraints Over the ownership usage of private cars and goods vehicles

would need to be applied.
