Admiralty station is an MTR station located on Hong Kong Island, in an area often referred to as Admiralty. The station's livery is blue. The station connects the Tsuen Wan Line with the Island Line in cross-platform interchange type. Before the opening of the Tsuen Wan branch line in 1982, it was part of the Kwun Tong Line. The station is named after HMS ''Tamar'' (a place of land now known as the Tamar site), once the headquarters of the Royal Navy in Hong Kong - this, even though HMS ''Tamar'' had never actually been the Admiralty. It was built on the former site of the Hong Kong naval dockyards, which was built in 1878 and demolished in the 1970s. Currently the station is undergoing major expansion for accommodating 2 more metro lines, North South Corridor and South Island Line (East). This will make Admiralty station the first railway hub in Hong Kong providing access to 4 metro services in one single structure. ==Development== The Government had given the MTR Corporation first refusal on the site, which was subsequently sold to it in 1976 for around HK$200 million for cash and equity consideration.〔Malcolm Surry, (Metro's role in the property game ), South China Morning Post, 16 July 1976〕 The Admiralty Centre, United Centre and Queensway Plaza formed part of development, and sit directly above the station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Admiralty Station (MTR)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
