With the Tuen Ma Line extending to Tuen Mun South through the new railway extension, residents of Tuen Mun will be able to enjoy more convenient and comfortable journeys across the territory to their workplace, school and even anywhere to meet up with friends! The Tuen Mun South Extension is an approximately 2.4 km “community railway” that will extend the Tuen Ma Line southward from Tuen Mun Station to a new terminus near Tuen Mun Ferry Pier via A16 Station. In addition to the greater travelling convenience to be brought by the new railway extension which will connect the community south of the Tuen Mun town centre to the extensive MTR network, the residents’ quality of life will also be greatly enhanced through re-provisioning of community facilities with upgraded features.
Construction of the Tuen Mun South Extension is expected to commence in 2023 and target to be completed in around 2030. The extension will enhance connectivity south of the Tuen Mun town centre and create a better living environment for the community.

As an extension of the Tuen Ma Line, the Tuen Mun South Extension requires no interchange at Tuen Mun Station
The two new stations will be adjacent to the Light Rail stops at Tuen Mun Ferry Pier, Siu Hei, Tuen Mun Swimming Pool and Goodview Garden for convenient interchange between Light Rail and the railway network.
In line with the existing MTR fare structure
Existing Tuen Mun Swimming Pool
Community facilities affected by the construction will be re-provisioned, e.g. a brand new swimming pool will be built with upgraded facilities based on the Government’s standards.
Existing Wu Yuet Bridge
The pedestrian network around the stations will be enhanced. For example, the footbridge across Wu King Road near Wu Yuet Street (Wu Yuet Bridge) will be converted into an at-grade pedestrian crossing facility to provide more direct and convenient access.
Community support plays a vital role from the planning, design and construction of a new railway project to its completion. We will engage and collaborate with the community throughout the process towards the targeted opening to provide a safe, reliable and convenient railway service for the benefit of the community.

The Tuen Mun South Extension will extend the railway service of the Tuen Ma Line to the community south of Tuen Mun town centre. It will not only facilitate the mobility of individuals, but also infuse vitality into the neighborhood, and unleash the development potential of the region. New employment and business opportunities brought by railway development will also foster social, business and economic growth in the long run.
