Not that the border crossing is so hot these days, but it also means Sha Tin to HK Island without changing trains.
Damn, was I bothered when the terminus switched from East TST to Hung Hom ... now, 沒問題.

Can’t wait to be able to walk across the border and hop on a train to central! Should be able to do it in 2030 or so.

hkskyline cool! Did you visit when the station first opened? Are there places to grab a bite in the station, obviously before the turnstiles? Seamless Star Ferry connections?
(Reading the Chinese for the WWII bomb photo, it was a bit odd to see 戰時炸彈 "wartime bomb" written as such. I guess it's as opposed to those 1950s American "peacetime bombs" in the Pacific?)

It reminds me of the NY or Boston subway systems. I heard once that the Boston MBTA management went on a fact-finding tour of the MTR, taking note on all of the different operating procedures and processes at the MTR. They put them down on a bullet list and posted them at the MBTA HQ as a list of things not to do. It's worked wonders since then.
