Sha Tin Wai station
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use Hong Kong English Template:More citations needed Template:Infobox station Sha Tin Wai (Template:Zh) is a station on the Template:Lnl in Sha Tin, Hong Kong. The name "Sha Tin Wai" comes from the village called Sha Tin Wai, which is located to the northeast of the station. It was provisionally called "Sha Kok Street" before the Ma On Shan line opened, because it is located at Sha Kok Street.
It serves residents living in Pok Hong Estate, Sha Kok Estate, Jat Min Chuen, Yue Shing Court, Shui Chuen O Estate, and also serves over 10 schools around the area, including kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools, such as Po Leung Kuk Chee Jing Yin Primary School, The Church of Christ in China Kei Kok Primary School, Island School and Immaculate Heart of Mary College.
The pattern featured on the platform pillar and glass barrier is a shot of Tsang Tai Uk traditional walled settlement.
History
On 21 December 2004, Sha Tin Wai station opened to the public with other KCR Ma On Shan Rail stations.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
On 14 February 2020, the Template:Lnl was extended south to a new terminus in Template:STN, as part of the first phase of the Shatin to Central Link Project. The Ma On Shan Line was renamed Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 at the time. Sha Tin Wai station became an intermediate station on this temporary new line.
On 27 June 2021, the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 officially merged with the Template:Lnl in East Kowloon to form the new Template:Lnl, as part of the Shatin to Central link project. Hence, Sha Tin Wai was included in the project and is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line, Hong Kong's longest railway line.
