It's a weird surchage for using the train to get to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau. While it's $21/$22 one-way for the one-stop from Sheung Shui to the border, it's only about $10-$12 to take a "B" bus from Northwest N.T. to get to Shenzhen Bay or the Lok Ma Chau crossing. And the "Huang/Wong/Yellow" Bus is only $8 to get to the border.
But you're right that either way it's about HK$70 roundtrip from the city to the border.
