Sheung Wan still has the infamous 'haunted platforms' that were to serve the Rumsey interchange.

[@Daan03]

Wow really? Haunted platforms :oo are there any pictures online?

[@hiddenhongkong]

They've been blocked up now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AMTR_SHW_%282%29.JPG

@@Daan03 The haunted platforms have been closed in 2011 due to the West Island Line extension trackwork , sadly.

@@Daan03 you can still visit the structures of the Rumsey Platform by traveling up to the eastern concourse from Island Line platforms, there is an intermediate level between concourse and Island Line platforms which is where the platform of Rumsey St. There is no trackwork and the original track trenches had been refilled, but you can tell from the interior layout that it was once a platform structure

Wo Liu Hang is where my Matriarchal Grandfather's old Village is standing, he operates a Pig Farm there (farm closed in 1980 due to urban development and his retirement). The Land slope in Wo Liu Hang is unsuitable to build a station there

Maybe underground?

[@alexanderip1003]

@@hiddenhongkong even my patriarchal grandfather opposed to it as both of them prefer the Diesel-powered KCR to ship their livestock and raw materials (Patriarchal grandfather operates a rice processing mill in Sha Tin Village which was later demolished for Urban development when he retired in 1982 and at that point my aunts uncles and parents are old enough to seek their fortunes when they had me and my cousins between 1981 and 1992)

Quay is pronounced "key"

[@davidsorton2023]

You may be interested to know that a very early proposal on the “Modified Initial System” was a chord line connecting the Kwun Tong Line between Shek Kip Mei and Kowloon Tong to the KCR, north of Mong Kok (KCR). This was intended for delivering rolling stock but was never built!

Awesome content! I really enjoyed it

[@jesaah1036]

loved it, keep up the good work!

[@electro_sykes]

it would be very easy for them to extend to tsuen wan west. Also do not get why that line was not extended to tuen mun and they instead built a new line. always been curious of this

[@mkgaming8963]

In fact, it's not "Chai Wan Quay", its pronounced "Chai Wan Key" because "Quay" is welsh.

0:55 Quay should be pronounced like 'key'

[@ryyyyyyy623]

5:25 is it Lam Tin or Kowloon Bay?

[@vyomarya6797]

In the RDS it says Lam Tin but the same document's diagram shows Kowloon Bay area, I think that they have not decided the alignment yet

Hidden Hong Kong You Made A Mistake Ma Tau Wai And To Kwa Wan Are On The Wrong Side

[@hiddenhongkong]

Sung Wong Toi was originally named To Kwa Wan, and To Kwa Wan was originally named Ma Tau Wai. The names didn't match the locations correctly, so they changed them before opening the line.
