Kwong Chow Station (Chinese: 光州站) is a station in the West Lake Area built by BDark000. It is the western terminus of Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line) and the southern terminus of Line 1 (Meyan Line) Phase 1. It will become a mid-way stop of Line 1 (Meyan Line) after the phase 2 is done. The station gets featured for a couple of times in Jonathan's videos1).

History

  • early September, 2022: Station starts designing. It was originally designed to be a island platform with at least 27m wide, serving Line 1 (Meyan Line), with a pair of stacked tracks of Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line) crossing in the middle. Passengers alighting from Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line), can exit on either side to change to Line 1 (Meyan Line) trains for the two directions on the opposite, or exit the station. Conversely, passengers changing from both directions of Line 1 (Meyan Line) can enjoy a “cross platform interchange” to Line 2 (Kwong Chow - North Coast Line).
  • 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 platforms 1 has been removed and become part of the staircase for better crowd control.

Layout

There are in total of 3 floors in the station. One lift is serving between north concourse and the platforms, while another is serving between south concourse and the platforms.
