Kowloon Bay station is part of the Hong Kong MTR network, located on the Kwun Tong line between Choi Hung and Ngau Tau Kok in the Kowloon East district. It began operations in 1979.
Among the five stations on the Kwun Tong line that are above ground, Kowloon Bay is one of three that are elevated and exposed to the open air, alongside Ngau Tau Kok and Kwun Tong. Installing platform screen doors (PSDs) at these open-air stations presented difficulties; therefore, in 2011, automatic platform gates (APGs) were implemented here. That same year, the station’s color theme was updated from black to red.
The headquarters of the MTR Corporation is situated at Kowloon Bay, which also houses the traction maintenance depot for the Kwun Tong line. Positioned above this depot is Telford Gardens, the first residential project developed by MTR Corporation. Additionally, the station provides direct access to Telford Plaza, a shopping center adjacent to Telford Gardens.
History
The construction contract for Kowloon Bay station and nearby sections of the line was awarded to John Lok & Partners. This station officially opened on 1 October 1979, coinciding with the inauguration of the Kwun Tong line.
