Kowloon is a station on the Tung Chung Line and the Airport Express of Hong Kong's MTR. The station provides in-town check-in service for passengers departing from the Hong Kong International Airport and free shuttle bus services to most major hotels in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei areas. The station is located less than a kilometre west of Jordan Station on the Tsuen Wan Line. Escalators link Elements directly with the station concourse. == History == The station was designed by TFP Farrells. During the planning stage, it was called West Kowloon Station (Chinese: 西九龍站). On 16 September 2000, the new shopping mall "Dickson CyberExpress" (Chinese: 迪生數碼世界) was opened by Dickson Poon. The size was spread over four levels of the station with six shopping areas. However, the mall did not have the expected volume of customers and business was weak. After half a year, the mall shrank its size. The mall management company planned to decrease the level of the mall from 4 levels to 3 levels and to combine some of the shopping areas. Business remained poor due to sparse population near the station and a recession at that time. The mall finally closed its operation in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.dicksoncyber.com/ )〕 The station was proposed as the terminus of the unbuilt East Kowloon Line; the proposal indicated using a reserved confined space under the Tung Chung Line platforms.〔http://www.thmalex.com/railway/chi/mtrtrip.html〕 The station is connected via footbridges to Austin Station on the West Rail Line. In the future, the station will be connected to West Kowloon Terminus of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link Hong Kong section. 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「Kowloon Station (MTR)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
