Hung Ngai Tung Station (Chinese: 紅崖洞站) is a station in the Sakura Stream Area built by BDark000 on behalf of West Lake Transport Authority (WLT). It is the temporary northern terminus of Line 1 (Meyan Line) Phase 1 before the renovation between Northern Snow Village station and this station is done. It will become a mid-way stop of Line 1 (Meyan Line) afterwards.
The literal meaning of the Chinese name means Red Clift and Cave, comes from the Siberian Taiga biome, clifty terrain and large lush cave near the station.
History
This station is first proposed in the northern extension from Providence station to Northern Snow Village as an additional mid-way stop.
Timeline
- late July, 2022: Initial plan of transportation in the West Lake Area is out. Stations are not yet confirmed but planned to have two near now Kwong Chow station.
- early August, 2022: WLT confirms that only one Kwong Chow station will be built.
- early September, 2022: Station starts planning for Line 1 split side platforms and Line 2 stacked double-sided side platforms proposal.
- mid October, 2022: Station layout is revised to how it looks now.
- 22 December, 2022: Station is open to the public as well as the extension of WLT Line 1 Phase 1 from Birch Hill station to this station.
- early January, 2023: Step-free access is now fully available after a new lift exit is added to Exit D.
- 24 June, 2023: Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line) runs a shuttle service (later known as W. Section Temp Shuttle) between this station and Sai Mo Island station. It is the first day of the station providing cross platform interchange.
- early December, 2023: A small renovation on the stairs is done. Most of the staircases in the station are extended and leave a small space in the middle for better safety and passengers experience. Also, the downward escalator from south concourse to platform 1 has been removed and become part of the staircase for better crowd control.
Layout
Not counting exits, there are a total of 3 floors in the station. L1 is concourse and is separated into north and south part not directly accessible to each other, due to the Grand Canal in between. North part connects Exit C, D while south part connects Exit A, B. L2 and L3 are platforms under the canal.
Platforms 1, 3 stack on top of platforms 2, 4 on the two sides. In between is the core structure. Under the concourse on two ends, it consists of walls, passages, staircases and escalators. Under the canal, it has the famous high ceiling spacious and open design, with chandeliers hung between the pillars. To facilitate the interchange at the upper platforms, a passageway in the middle is built to further connect up platforms 1 and 3. And since future interchange between Line 1 (Meyan Line) south of Kwong Chow and Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line) requires going down from upper platforms to lower platforms, a staircase and two escalators connecting the two floors are also built.
One lift is serving between north concourse and the platforms, while another is serving between south concourse and the platforms. The lift serving south concourse is larger due to a higher anticipated passengers flow and capacity needed.
