Causeway Bay North, also known as Victoria Park (), is an envisioned MTR rapid transit station situated on Hong Kong Island, positioned in the northern sector of Causeway Bay, to the northwest of Victoria Park. This station is planned as part of the North Island line (NIL) project, which aims to extend the line beyond its current endpoint at towards Tamar station in the Central district.
History
Originally, the KCRC included Causeway Bay North in its proposal for the Sha Tin to Central Link (SCL), placing it between and . However, this arrangement necessitated a five-year closure of Gloucester Road, causing considerable traffic disruption. After the MTR–KCR merger, this station was excluded from the SCL plan and will only be incorporated if developed as part of the NIL.
In the 2013 Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000, "Causeway Bay North" appeared as an intermediate stop on the North Island line, replacing its former designation "Victoria Park."
Station Structure
Plans indicate that the Tseung Kwan O Line will be extended from North Point Station to Tamar Station, intersecting with an extended Tung Chung Line. A new station is proposed approximately midway along this route, with the underground section likely to run beneath Tsing Fung Street flyover and Victoria Park Road.
