The MTR Corporation has appointed Roger Bayliss as its new projects director.

He will succeed Philco Wong who resigned following the construction scandal at Hung Hom Station of the planned Shatin-Central Link.

Bayliss is no stranger to rail projects in Hong Kong. The 61-year-old had worked for the railway giant between 1992 and 2004, and oversaw the building of the Airport Express, the Tseung Kwan O Line extension and Ngong Ping 360 cable car.

He will take office on March 18 and oversee the company's expansion projects in Hong Kong.
