In addition, the MTRCL provides intercity through-train services from Hong Kong to Beijing, Shanghai and cities in Guangdong. It carried a daily average of 11,500 travellers in 2015.
There are two rail-based crossing points at the Hong Kong-Mainland boundary at Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau Spur Line control points, which are connected by the East Rail Line.
The West Island Line was fully commissioned in March 2015. It not only extends efficient railway services to the densely populated Western District, but also provides a well-structured pedestrian network in tandem with barrier-free facilities in the vicinity of stations along the line, enabling commuters in the uphill and downhill areas to enjoy convenient access to the railway.
The map below shows the existing railway network and four railway projects under
