History
Originally designated as "Lee On station" during the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation's Ma On Shan Rail development, the location was predominantly undeveloped land near Lee On Estate. The project received approval in October 2000 and encompassed building a public transport interchange, adjacent property development, and the realignment of Sai Sha Road. Construction commenced in February 2001.
The station began operations on 21 December 2004 alongside the Ma On Shan Rail line, featuring 4-car trains running between Tai Wai and Wu Kai Sha at 3-minute intervals during peak hours, with a total travel time of approximately 16 minutes. The neighboring private residential development, Lake Silver, was completed in 2009.
Following the MTR–KCR merger in December 2007, management was transferred to MTR Corporation. As part of the Sha Tin to Central Link initiative, the Ma On Shan line stations underwent retrofitting from 2012 to support 8-car trains and were fitted with automatic platform gates by December 2017. At Wu Kai Sha station, enhancements included extending the overrun viaduct and expanding platform canopies.
On 14 February 2020, the Ma On Shan line was extended to and rebranded as Tuen Ma line phase 1. The full Tuen Ma line commenced service on 27 June 2021 following its extension to and integration with the West Rail line, with Wu Kai Sha remaining its northeastern terminus.
