Oyster Bay (), initially referred to as Siu Ho Wan during the planning phase, is a forthcoming MTR station on the , situated to the southwest of the Siu Ho Wan depot on Lantau Island. This station will be built at ground level adjacent to the current Tung Chung line tracks.[1] The Hong Kong Government officially announced its construction in June 2021.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name With an anticipated opening in 2030, the depot will maintain its operations throughout and following the construction period.[2]
The station's location has been carefully selected to accommodate new residential projects near the Siu Ho Wan depot, reflecting MTR Corporation’s approach of integrating transit with property development.[1]
History
During the Airport Core Programme for the new Hong Kong International Airport, land reclamation occurred at Siu Ho Wan to establish an MTR depot servicing both and trains, which commenced service in 1998.
In the mid-2000s, proposals emerged regarding a new station and transit-oriented development at Siu Ho Wan, connected with the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge. The 2007 Lantau Concept Plan identified this area as a potential logistics center.
By the mid-2010s, focus shifted towards residential development accompanied by a new station. In 2016, Leung Chun-ying announced government collaboration with MTR Corporation for future projects including the Siu Ho Wan Depot site.
In 2020, Carrie Lam confirmed that MTR had finalized the site's Zoning Plan, projecting approximately 20,000 housing units. The Town Planning Board approved MTR’s four-phase development plan for the site in December 2021, which includes 10,720 private apartments, around 10,480 predominantly subsidized public flats, and a shopping complex.
In September 2022, MTR agreed to a land swap arrangement for public housing and signed a project contract for Oyster Bay station. Construction was expected to start in 2023 and finish by 2030 while keeping the Siu Ho Wan depot operational. However, in April 2023, MTR announced intentions to re-tender the contract after an unsuccessful bid earlier that year due to sluggish economic recovery and elevated interest rates.
In July 2025, foundation work for the overhead cable of Oyster Bay station was halted by MTR because of “upheaving,” resulting in major delays to the construction timeline.
Station layout
The station will be built at-grade alongside the existing shared tracks of both the Airport Express and Tung Chung lines, located southwest of Siu Ho Wan depot. Its platform configuration will resemble that of Nam Cheong station on the Tung Chung line, consisting of two additional tracks flanked by two side platforms adjacent to current Tung Chung line rails. The concourse will be situated above both the platform level and Siu Ho Wan depot.
