There was a proposal on Hong Kong / ShenZhen Airport link which remains quite where all the attention now goes to the High Speed Rail. I guess you will hear news / noise again in early 2010 plan when the "Hong Kong Aiport 2030" master plan release if we are building 3rd runway or not (basically if 3rd runway the twin airport link is presumably gone)

The Tsuen Mun - Airport Link http://www.hyd.gov.hk/eng/major/road...tmwb/index.htm which enter final design stage, if remember correctly, emphasis on the highway development instead of railway, which for me it translate lower chance of direct train connection

From my own view, Hong Kong better off build the High Speed Rail + 3rd runway instead of High Speed Rail + Twin Airport Link,

With HSR, HKG --> ShenZhen will be 1 hour only by Airport Express + HSR excl wait time (Similar to travel on coach bus ?), and 1.5 hr to Guangzhou

However you will need to enter HK @ HKIA and exit HK @ Kowloon HSR station
