History


The station once served as the terminus of Sha Tau Kok Railway, which stopped its operations on April 1, 1928. The station also served as the terminus for the now defunct Wo Hop Shek branch line, which ran from Fanling station to the Wo Hop Shek cemetery. The branch line was only used for special services during the Ching Ming and Chung Yeung festivals. The Wo Hop Shek branch line was taken out of service in 1983 after the KCR electrification upgrades.
