Thinking back on it he probably thought most people threw away their boarding passes upon arriving at the airport. He probably wanted to use that I had no proof as a reason. Still was denied entry.
I guess so, though it is still quite strange that he/she asked for BP. The guard was following the rules though. There are no exceptions for people coming from the airport. And Sheung Shui is the strictest station on the network due to the sheer volume of mainland parallel traders that pass through there each day.
BTW. Were you stopped by MTR staff (yellow shirts) or private security (white shirts)?
I think the advice above still stands. Hung Hom rarely has checks and it is a much larger station with many entrances so you can go to a different one if blocked. So, I'd take the A21 there and then East Rail Line north.

OK.......Am I the most pedantic person on the thread?
Thank you
