History
Sha Tin Wai station began service on 21 December 2004, opening together with other stations on the KCR Ma On Shan Rail.
On 14 February 2020, the MTR Ma On Shan Line was extended southward to a new terminus at Kai Tak as part of phase one of the Sha Tin to Central Link initiative. At this time, the line was renamed Tuen Ma Line Phase 1, with Sha Tin Wai functioning as an intermediate stop along this provisional route.
Later, on 27 June 2021, Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 combined with the West Rail Line in East Kowloon to create the new Tuen Ma line—Hong Kong’s longest railway line—thereby integrating Sha Tin Wai station into this expanded transit network.
