Po Lam (Chinese: 寶琳; Cantonese Yale: Bóulàhm) is the northern terminus MTR station of the Tseung Kwan O line. It is located on Mau Yip Road, Po Lam, in the New Territories of Hong Kong, sandwiched by Phases 1 to 3 of Metro City. Built by Maeda Corporation, it opened on 18 August 2002. The name of the station is taken from the nearby Po Lam Road North.




Station layout



Unlike most MTR stations and unique in the Tseung Kwan O line, the concourse, gates and platform of Po Lam station are on the same level. Tracks ascend from underground to ground level at the southern end of the station, along King Lam Estate. A park is located on top of the tracks to cover them.




= Platforms

=
There is only one side platform (Platform 1) from which trains depart, in the same direction as they arrive. Trains, as a result, halt on their way from Hang Hau station for another train to depart at the station. Trains also stay here for a shorter period before departing than at other MTR terminals. The single-track design (and the consequent longer train turnback time) limits the maximum train service frequency of the Tseung Kwan O line.
Across from the platform and north of the point where the tracks merge to one, there is a siding that splits from the running line for parking trains. Trains cannot access the platform from the siding, nor can they access the siding from the platform.




Entrances/exits



The main exit is on Mau Yip Road, where five pedestrian footbridges link the station to a public transport interchange, shopping malls and residential buildings. There is direct access to Metro City and The Pinnacle from the concourse. Another footbridge crosses Po Fung Road and leads to Po Lam Estate, Yan Ming Court and Verbena Heights.

Future development



The government proposed in the Railway Development Strategy 2014 that East Kowloon line will connect Po Lam and Diamond Hill stations, passing through Po Tat, Sau Mau Ping, Shun Tin and Choi Wan stations. It will serve as an alternative route to reach Kwun Tong line in case of disruption on the Tseung Kwan O line, and is expected to open in 2025.
