Lam Tin is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong Line built as a part of the extension to Quarry Bay. The station is linked to the hillside community of the Lam Tin area by a series of escalators. == History == In the 1980s, the Eastern Harbour Crossing (EHC or EHT) was planned by the colonial government. Following the successful performance of the MTR since 1978, the government decided to extend the Kwun Tong Line through a new tunnel to Quarry Bay. It was later decided that before the entrance to the tunnel, trains would stop at a station in the Lam Tin Valley, where it goes into the Sai Tso Wan Hill and then underground to the entrance of the tunnel. The station was opened in October 1989. As part of his official visit with then Princess of Wales to Hong Kong, the Prince of Wales officiated the opening of the station, in which a commemorative plaque remains on display to this day. After the opening of the EHC, Lam Tin, with the MTR station and bus terminals, became a crucial transport interchange in east Kowloon. The station serves passengers between Tseung Kwan O and other parts of Kowloon as well as between Hong Kong and Kowloon. Platform screen doors have been in use since late August 2005. 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「Lam Tin Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
