Sheung Shui (; : , translating to "Above-water") ranks as the second last station heading north on the in Hong Kong. It acts as the northern endpoint of the East Rail line whenever the Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau border checkpoints are closed for the day. This station represents the final northbound stop that passengers can access without possessing a Closed Road Permit, Mainland Travel Permit, or a valid passport accompanied by a mainland Chinese visa.
Situated within the North District of the New Territories, Sheung Shui station primarily serves the Sheung Shui neighborhood along with its adjacent communities.
History
The British Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway commenced operations on 1 October 1910, with Sheung Shui station being introduced later on 16 May 1930. The entire KCR network was electrified by 15 July 1983. The Lok Ma Chau Spur Line started functioning on 15 August 2007.
To handle the surge in passenger volume resulting from the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, Sheung Shui station unveiled a new southern concourse in January 2006.
Layout
After Lok Ma Chau station began service, two distinct boarding lines—blue designated for Lo Wu and green for Lok Ma Chau—were implemented on the northbound platform. Platform 1 is used as the terminal platform for northbound trains once border crossings have closed, while platform 2 (southbound) remains the only boarding platform during operational hours.
