The MTR Corporation told lawmakers on Friday that it has conducted trial runs involving 400 people to test out its systems at the West Kowloon express rail station, including the ticket machines and gates.
MTR Operations Director Adi Lau told the Legco Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways that the aim was to check the facilities and procedures.
He also said that 45 of its drivers have received the necessary certificates from the National Railway Administration to operate the cross-border express trains.
Deputy Secretary for Transport and Housing Rebecca Pun said the project is 99.6 percent complete, and is ahead of schedule.
She added that the parts that remain to be finished include immigration and fire safety facilities at the terminus.
The rail link to the mainland is set to start service in September.
