   * **5 February 2023:** Jonathan builds the Clock Tower northeast of the station in S3E4. The tower is based on the real-life [[wp>Clock_tower,_Hong_Kong|Kowloon Clock Tower]] which used to be a part of old [[wp>Kowloon_railway_station_(KCR)|KCR Kowloon Terminus]] demolished in 1978.
-  * **23 March 2023:** The Pengaloo Line is split in 2 sections, temporarily no longer serving Kowloon, in order to enable construction work for new underground platforms (now platforms 12-13) and the elimination of Kowloon Tong as a calling point for the Metro Pengaloo Line

   * **2 April 2023:** The Kowloon Commuter service is suspended in order to enable construction work for a new underground platform (now platform 11). Heung Hoi station, previously located north of Kowloon, is now fully closed and demolished at this time.

-West of the entrance is the actual station building. As previously mentioned, the design is inspired by Canary Wharf DLR station. The main bulding only has a single stair/escalator access leading from the waterfront exit to the underground concourse.

-The station's concourse features a large passenger information display screen in the entrance area, as seen in other large Lilypad Rail hubs like [[mtr_letsplay:llanmara|Llanmara Saint Ann's]]. The concourse has a floor out of randomly arranged stone, polished andesite and sea lanterns, walls out of [[mtr_addon:lu:start|London Underground Addon]] gray concrete, a ceiling out of quartz blocks and station-coloured purpur blocks, as well as ceiling lights and JCM light lanterns for lighting and evenly arranged quartz pillars. The stairs leading to the upper platforms are JCM's MTR stairs flanked by deepslate tile stairs and walls. All platforms can be accessed by stairs and lifts.

+The main overground station structure features Platforms 1-10. Just like Canary Wharf DLR, the ceiling has a big east-west canopy in the centre and flatter parts that cover the edges of the platforms, flanked by sandstone walls. The platforms are each 204 blocks long, have a polished andesite and granite floor, indented LU platform blocks, route maps, glass fence barriers in front of the lift doors preventing passengers exiting the lift from running onto the tracks, platform stop markers for train drivers, help lines, metal pillars showing the [[mtr:station_name|station name]] in black and supporting [[https://jcm.joban.org/latest/players/blocks/pids_1a/|JCM PIDs]], and rubbish bins next to some of the pillars.
+=== Underground platforms ===
+{{ :mtr_letsplay:kowloon_p12p13.png?512 |Platforms 12 and 13 at Kowloon}} Underground platforms
+Kowloon has 3 underground platforms (11-13) served by the [[mtr_letsplay:metro_pengaloo_line|Metro Pengaloo Line]] and the [[mtr_letsplay:hillside_line|Sidelines Hillside]]. Their design differs from the other platforms, showing a block palette more similar to the concourse.
