The MTR Corporation says it will be closing down more stations from 11am, in addition to Admiralty, Wan Chai and Prince Edward that have been shuttered since first thing.
Causeway Bay, Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin, Sha Tin, Che Kung Temple, Tsuen Wan, Tsuen Wan West and Tuen Mun stations will all be closed "due to upcoming public activities".
The railway company said trains will not be stopping at these stations from 11am "as a prudent measure to ensure the safety of passengers and our staff".
There have been calls online for protesters to rally from 1pm in areas close to the new batch of stations being closed.
The corporation said it had decided to close the stations after conducting risk assessments and holding discussions with relevant government departments.
It also warned that the entrances of other stations may be closed without prior notice.
Meanwhile the Airport Express will operate a non-stop service from Hong Kong Station to the airport from 2pm, skipping stops in between, amid calls on social media for transport links to Chek Lap Kok to be disrupted.
