The Shatin to Central Link project will connect several existing railway lines to form two strategic railway corridors; east-west and north-south”. The existing Ma On Shan Line L line, starting at Wu Kai Sha station, will link up with the West Rail Line, forming a continuous 57 kilometre line that further improves connectivity to the New Territories.
