MTR Temporarily Adjusts Non-peak Hour Train Services Starting from 22 July
In view of the latest development of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Government has implemented measures to reduce social contacts, resulting in a significant decrease in the number of railway passengers. After prudent consideration, the Corporation will temporarily adjust the non-peak hour train frequency of various railway lines starting from 22 July (Wednesday). Train services during weekday peak hours will remain unchanged.
Non-peak services and services on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays on the Tsuen Wan, Kwun Tong, Island, South Island, Tseung Kwan O, East Rail and West Rail lines will be maintained at an average interval of around 3.5 to 8 minutes. Passengers may experience an extra waiting time of between about half a minute and two minutes on average during non-peak periods. Services on Tung Chung Line and Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 during non-peak periods will be adjusted to an interval of around 10 minutes. The service on the Airport Express and Disneyland Resort Line during non-peak periods will remain unchanged at intervals of 15 to 30 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
