'''Hung Hom''' ({{zh|t=紅磡|cy=Hùngham}}) is a passenger<ref>Cargo services ended on 16 June 2010; [https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hk/港鐵貨場][https://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/corporate/file_rep/PR-09-122-C.pdf] (Chinese only)</ref> railway [[List of MTR stations|station]] in [[Hung Hom]], [[Kowloon]], [[Hong Kong]]. It is an interchange station between the {{lnl|MTR|eal}} and the {{lnl|MTR|tml}} domestic services of the [[MTR]] network. This station serves the southern terminus of the East Rail Line in early morning before the first northbound train from Admiralty arrives. As the station is located next to the [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]]'s northern [[Portal (architecture)|portal]], it is also served by many cross-harbour bus routes.

Opened as the new southern terminus of the [[Kowloon–Canton Railway]] (KCR) on 24 November 1975, the station was substantially expanded in the 1990s, at which time it was given its present name. The KCR British Section was also renamed [[East Rail line|KCR East Rail]] in order to differentiate it from the new [[West Rail line|KCR West Rail]], which opened on 20 December 2003 and was extended to Hung Hom station on 16 August 2009.

As part of the [[Sha Tin to Central Link]] project, the East Rail line was extended across [[Victoria Harbour]] to [[Admiralty, Hong Kong|Admiralty]] via a new [[immersed tube]] tunnel to the south of Hung Hom. The West Rail line was also extended via eastern Kowloon to connect to the former {{lnl|MTR|mos}}, with the combined line being renamed "{{lnl|MTR|tml}}".

Hung Hom station also served as the southern terminus of cross-border through-trains to [[mainland China]], which were halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and officially disused in 2024.<ref name="SCMP01">{{cite news |date=2022-04-29 |title=‘End of an era’ for Hong Kong MTR’s cross-border through-train services with Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/hong-kong-economy/article/3175918/end-era-hong-kong-mtrs-cross-border-through-train |accessdate=2024-03-15 |publisher=South China Morning Post}}</ref>

== History ==
=== Former Hung Hom station ===
An older station of the same name once existed on [[Chatham Road South]]. It was situated on the former coastline of [[Hung Hom Bay]], at the southeastern corner of the [[Gun Club Hill Barracks]] (between the current-day Chung Sze Yuen Building A of the [[Hong Kong Polytechnic University]] and the [[Hong Kong History Museum]]).

This [[Hung Hom Station (1910-1921)|old Hung Hom station]], a temporary wooden structure, operated from 1 October 1910 (the day the [[Kowloon–Canton Railway]] began operation) until 15 September 1921<ref>Kowloon–Canton railway 1910 Annual Report.</ref> It was later demolished and replaced by this station on 30 November 1975.

=== Relocation of Kowloon station ===
[[File:HungHomStation plaoue.JPG|thumb|left|Plaque unveiled by [[Elizabeth II]] commemorating the opening of the station.]]
The {{stnlnk|Kowloon|KCR|old Kowloon station}} in [[Tsim Sha Tsui]] began operation in 28 March 1916. After decades of economic growth in Hong Kong, the station, situated at the seafront of Victoria Harbour, became too small and had no room for expansion. 
On 5 May 1975, [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] unveiled a plaque commemorating the opening of the new terminal.<ref name="gis76">{{cite book|title=Annual Departmental Report by the General Manager, Railway and Chief Resident Engineer for the Financial Year 1975-76|date=1976|publisher=Government Information Services|location=Hong Kong}}</ref>{{Image requested inline}} 
A new Kowloon station (the current Hung Hom station), situated to the east, was officially inaugurated by Chief Secretary [[Denys Roberts]] on 24 November 1975 as the new southern terminus of the [[East Rail line]]. However, it did not start operating until a few days later. The old terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui was closed on 29 November 1975.The first passenger train pulled out of Hung Hom the following morning at 8:26 am. 

The new station cost HK$150 million and offered modern new facilities including a spacious waiting hall, a restaurant, a bar, a bookstore, a bank, escalators, and closed circuit television. It was built along with a bus terminus and a multi-storey car park.<ref name="gis76" />

The controversial demolition of the old station commenced on 7 June 1978;<ref>Hong Kong Kung Sheung Daily, 8 June 1978.</ref> a new complex of a concert hall and museums were built on Kowloon station's original site, but the [[Clock Tower, Hong Kong|clock tower]] was preserved as a [[declared monuments of Hong Kong|Declared Monument]].

Through trains to mainland China started running from Hung Hom station on 4 April 1979.

=== Renaming and expansion ===
[[File:HungHomstation.jpg|thumb|left|Lobby of Hung Hom station (2006)]]
The new station was renamed Hung Hom station around February or March 1996.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}{{why|date=February 2023}} The [[Kowloon–Canton Railway|KCR]] [[East Rail line|British Section]] was renamed KCR East Rail in 1996, and subsequently the {{lnl|MTR|eal}} upon the merger of the [[MTR]] (metro services) and the [[Kowloon-Canton Railway]] (suburban train services) in December 2007. However, [[China Railway]] still referred to the station as Jiulong, which was the Mandarin pronunciation of Kowloon, until April 2019.

A HK$1.3 billion expansion of Hung Hom station began on 16 March 1995, which included a new concourse designed by [[Foster and Partners]].<ref name="1995annual">{{cite book|title=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Annual Report 1995|date=1996|publisher=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation|location=Hong Kong}}</ref> The expansion was completed in 1998. The passenger terminal now hosts ticket offices, waiting areas, shops and restaurants.

[[File:Hung Hom station under construction.jpg|thumb|left|Hung Hom station under construction]]
The construction of the East Rail extension to [[East Tsim Sha Tsui station]] began on 20 April 2001.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kcrc.com.hk/en/announcements/2001/010420.html |title=New extension brings KCR back to Tsim Sha Tsui |publisher=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181213153048/http://www.kcrc.com.hk/en/announcements/2001/010420.html |archive-date=13 December 2018 |date=20 April 2001}}</ref> Work was undertaken at Hung Hom station to extend tracks 2 and 3 southward, and to demolish the southern concourse of the station and replace it with a new mid-level concourse. Some structural columns, supporting the [[Hong Kong Coliseum]] above, had to be demolished and underpinned to make way for the construction of the tracks. Throughout the works, at least three of the four East Rail platforms had to be kept in operation.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ng |first1=Patrick |last2=Kwan |first2=Peter |last3=Chu |first3=Reuben |title=KCR Hung Hom Station Modifications – Planning, Design and Construction |url=https://www.hkie.org.hk/hkietransactions/upload/2019-02-14/KCR_Hung_Hom_Station_Modifications_Planning_Design_and_Construction.pdf |work=Transactions |publisher=Hong Kong Institution of Engineers |access-date=27 October 2023 |date=1 March 2004}}</ref> The extension was opened on 24 October 2004, turning Hung Hom into an intermediate station for the first time.

On 16 August 2009, East Tsim Sha Tsui was transferred to the West Rail line following the opening of the [[Kowloon Southern Link]], and Hung Hom became the southbound terminus station of both the East Rail and West Rail lines. Platforms 2 and 3 were transferred to the West Rail line, and Platform 1 and 4 became the termination platform of the East Rail line.

As part of the [[Sha Tin to Central Link]] project, two new island platforms were constructed under the eastern side of the existing station podium.<ref>{{cite web |author=AECOM |title=Consideration of Alternatives |url=https://www.epd.gov.hk/eia/register/report/eiareport/eia_1982011/EIA/html/Sec2_Alternatives.pdf |work=Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study for Shatin to Central Link - Mong Kok East to Hung Hom Section |publisher=Environmental Protection Department |access-date=28 October 2023 |pages=11 |date=24 November 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=AECOM |title=Typical Cross Section for Hung Hom Station |url=https://www.epd.gov.hk/eia/register/report/eiareport/eia_1982011/EIA/html/Appendices/app2.2.pdf |work=Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Study for Shatin to Central Link - Mong Kok East to Hung Hom Section |publisher=Environmental Protection Department |access-date=28 October 2023 |date=24 November 2011}}</ref> The West Rail line was relocated to its new platforms on 20 June 2021, a week ahead of the full opening of the Tuen Ma line. Temporary walkways were placed across the original West Rail line tracks, now defunct, to connect the East Rail line's platforms.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub; New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/press_release/PR-21-040-E.pdf |publisher=MTR Corporation |access-date=27 October 2023 |date=7 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Hung Hom Station layout |publisher=MTR Corporation |url=http://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/en/services/layouts/huh.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210621105747/http://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/en/services/layouts/huh.pdf |archive-date=21 June 2021}}</ref> On 27 June 2021, the West Rail line was absorbed into the Tuen Ma line.

The {{lnl|MTR|eal}} moved to the new underground platforms beneath the Tuen Ma line platforms on 15 May 2022, upon the opening of the line's extension to {{STN|Admiralty|x|MTR}}. The last train departed from the old platforms at 00:28 on 15 May 2022, and the original East Rail, West Rail line and through train platforms were permanently closed to passengers thereafter. Hung Hom is now an intermediate station on both the East Rail and Tuen Ma lines.

On 25 October 2023, it was announced that the MTR Corporation would be invited by the government of Hong Kong to conduct a preliminary study and submit proposals in 2024 for the redevelopment of an approximately 10-hectare area centred on the station.<ref>{{cite web |title=CE's speech in delivering "The Chief Executive's 2023 Policy Address" to LegCo (7) |url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202310/25/P2023102500161.htm |website=www.info.gov.hk |publisher=Government of Hong Kong |access-date=27 October 2023 |date=25 October 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=MTR Welcomes 2023 Policy Address In Advancing the Railway Network and City's Sustainable Development |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/press_release/PR-23-073-E.pdf |website=MTR |publisher=MTR Corporation |access-date=27 October 2023 |date=25 October 2023}}</ref>

In 2024, an exhibition named “Station Rail Voyage” was held at Hung Hom station as part of the celebration events for the 45th anniversary of the MTR company, with three types of retired trains displayed at the original platforms. The exhibition was originally planned to be held from 27 April to the end of 2024,<ref>{{cite news |date=18 April 2024 |title=Retired train cars to be displayed in new Hung Hom station exhibition |url=https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/215485/Retired-train-cars-to-be-displayed-in-new-Hung-Hom-station-exhibition |work=The Standard}}</ref> but was later extended to the end of 2025. The types of trains showcased included:

* Unrefurbished [[MTR Metro Cammell EMU (AC)|Metro Cammel E44 unit]] (144-244-444)
* [[MTR Metro Cammell EMU (AC)|MLR train]] (E112-E71)

== Cross-border services ==
Platforms 5 and 6 were used by [[China Railway]] for cross-border trains to {{Stnlnk|Beijing West}} ([[Beijing–Kowloon through train|Beijing–Kowloon line]]), {{Stnlnk|Shanghai}} ([[Shanghai–Kowloon through train|Shanghai–Kowloon line]]), {{Stnlnk|Guangzhou East}} and [[Foshan railway station|Foshan]] ([[Guangzhou–Kowloon through train|Guangzhou–Kowloon line]]). Cross-border services were first suspended during the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong|COVID-19 pandemic]], then permanently discontinued in June 2024 due to the demand for cross-border travel having been met by [[Hong Kong Express Rail Link|high speed trains]] terminating at [[Hong Kong West Kowloon station|West Kowloon station]].<ref name="SCMP01" /> 

Since April 2024, the cross-border platforms have been being used for the “Station Rail Voyage” exhibition. On 17 January 2025, MTR announced that the restricted crossing zone at Hung Hom Station for intercity through trains would be rescinded from that day onwards.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-17 |title=Mass Transit Railway (Cross-boundary Restricted Areas) Notice--(Made by the MTR Corporation Limited under by-law 41B of the Mass Transit Railway By-laws (Chapter 556B))--Rescission of Cross-boundary Restricted Areas at MTR Hung Hom Station |url=https://www.gld.gov.hk/egazette/english/gazette/file.php?year=2025&vol=29&no=3&extra=0&type=0&number=374 |access-date=2025-01-21 |website=[[Hong Kong Government Gazette|The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gazette]]}}</ref>

== Sha Tin to Central Link expansion ==
{{See also|Sha Tin to Central Link#Hung Hom station scandal{{!}}Sha Tin to Central Link § Hung Hom station scandal}}

=== Background ===
Under the [[East Rail line|North South Corridor]] concept, the {{lnl|MTR|eal}} was extended to [[Hong Kong Island]] via a new immersed tube tunnel south of the station. At the same time, the {{lnl|MTR|wrl}} was connected with the {{lnl|MTR|mos}} via East Kowloon, forming the new {{lnl|MTR|tml}}.

To facilitate this expansion, new platforms were built underneath the Hung Hom station Exit C concourse. The Tuen Ma line platforms sit above the East Rail line platforms.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Wong|first=Marcus|date=2018-12-25|title=New Shatin to Central Link platforms at Hung Hom station|url=https://www.checkerboardhill.com/2018/12/hung-hom-new-shatin-to-central-link-platforms/|access-date=2021-06-29|website=Checkerboard Hill|language=en-US}}</ref> New approach tracks have also been built north and south of the station.

=== Construction safety scandal ===
In 2018, a major scandal emerged regarding construction malpractice at the Hung Hom station construction site. In 2015, contractors building the concrete slab forming the Tuen Ma line platform level reportedly cut off the ends of [[rebar|reinforcing bars]] that were supposed to be screwed into couplers within the diaphragm wall forming the side of the underground station box. The contractor then poured the concrete even though the bars were not connected to the couplers. As a result, engineers have cast doubt on the long-term structural safety of the slab.<ref name="highlyconcerned">{{cite news |last1=Cheng |first1=Kris |title=Gov't highly concerned about corner-cutting scandal at Hung Hom MTR station, says Chief Exec.
