【鉄道PV】Documentary of MTR South Island Line
South Island Line is a medium-capacity railway connecting the current MTR network from Admiralty Station to the Southern District of Hong Kong, via new stations at Ocean Park, Wong Chuk Hang, Lei Tung and South Horizons. This new rail line is designed with features responding to the transport needs of the community. It will also promote tourism development and economic activities in Southern District.
The construction of the South Island Line began in May 2011 and it opens for passenger service on 28 December 2016.
The South Island Line comprises underground and viaduct sections. As a medium capacity system with 3-car trains, the line requires shorter platforms and smaller stations, while maintaining a train frequency similar to other MTR lines.
The South Island Line trains are designed with unique features to fit with the Southern District. The interior fittings and colour scheme adopt an oceanic theme to create a comfortable atmosphere.The railway alignment comprises of underground and viaduct sections with the section between the Aberdeen Tunnel toll plaza and Ap Lei Chau on a viaduct. To better integrate with the surrounding environment, the viaduct design has been enhanced to use slender and rounded viaduct columns and harmonious colours for the viaduct facade and noise barriers. Landscaping works along the viaduct will create new open spaces for the public.
To allow passengers to interchange conveniently between the railway and other public transportation services, a Park-and-Ride facility and Public Transport Facilities will be provided at Ocean Park and Wong Chuk Hang stations respectively.
Fully Automatic Operation (FAO) is a mature and well proven technology and is being widely adopted in many cities all over the world, including the MTR Disneyland Resort Line.
As a standalone new rail line, the FAO will also be applied for the South Island Line in order to achieve enhanced rail service with a higher level of reliability and more flexibility in train deployment.
The adoption of FAO can enhance the stability of train service. During most emergencies, train service could be resumed via reset of train and automatic recovery supported by control from Operations Control Centre (OCC). Besides, spare trains can be arranged by OCC to serve passengers to cater for any upsurge in patronage.
