The MTR Corporation has announced on Monday that it will provide overnight train service on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, except for on the Airport Express and Disneyland Resort Lines.
Services on the Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Kwun Tong Line and East Rail Line will be stepped up from 8pm on December 24 and 31, while MTR Bus routes 506, K51 and K54 will have their services times extended.
Overnight train services on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve had been suspended for the last two years due to the pandemic.
"We are very glad that with the further relaxation of the pandemic prevention measures, overnight train services could be resumed in the upcoming Christmas and New Year this year to facilitate passengers going out and sharing the festive joy with family and friends," a spokesman said in a statement.
The corporation added that it will run more trains starting in the afternoon on Thursday for the winter solstice, one of the most celebrated Chinese festivals.
