The '''Light Rail''', also known as the '''Light Rail Transit''' ('''LRT'''), officially the '''North-West Railway''',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elegislation.gov.hk/hk/cap372E?_lang=en|title=Hong Kong e-Legislation Cap. 372E North-West Railway By-Laws|access-date=2022-08-01}}</ref> is a [[light rail system]] in Hong Kong, serving the northwestern [[New Territories]], within [[Tuen Mun District]] and [[Yuen Long District]]. The system operates over {{track gauge|sg|allk=on}} track, using {{750 V DC}} [[Overhead line|overhead]] power supply. It was once one of four systems comprising the [[Kowloon–Canton Railway|KCR]] network in Hong Kong, before the [[MTR–KCR merger]] in 2007. It has a daily ridership of about 483,000 people.<ref>{{cite web|title=Transport|url=http://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/transport.pdf|website=Hong Kong: The Facts|publisher=Hong Kong Government|access-date=25 March 2015}}</ref> The network is coloured [[Goldenrod (color)|goldenrod]] on the MTR map.

== History ==
=== Planning and commencement ===
When [[Tuen Mun]] was developed in the 1970s, the [[Government of Hong Kong|Hong Kong government]] set aside space for the laying of [[rail tracks]]. There was uncertainty however as to which company would be chosen to build the railway. In 1982, [[Hong Kong Tramways]] showed interest in building the system and running [[aerial tramway|double-decker]] trams on it, before abandoning the project after negotiations over land premiums for related property development failed.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jim|first1=Timothy|title=LRT operator must pay $280m premium|work=[[South China Morning Post]]|date=26 February 1983}}</ref> The government sought another builder. The [[MTR Corporation|Mass Transit Railway Corporation]] (MTRC) was "heavily indebted" at the time, and so [[Secretary for Transport and Housing#History|Secretary for Transport]] [[Alan James Scott|Alan Scott]] invited the [[Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation]] (KCRC) to consider the project instead.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jim|first1=Timothy|title=KCR offered LRT system|work=South China Morning Post|date=23 November 1983}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last1=Jim|first1=Timothy|title=KCR to study Light Rail to NT|work=South China Morning Post|date=20 December 1983}}</ref> The KCRC announced they would build the system in 1984 to a budget of $1.5 billion, after investigating ways to improve commercial viability.{{sfn|Yeung|2008|p=171}} After some research, construction commenced on 14 July 1985.

By that time, [[Kowloon Motor Bus]] (KMB) had developed its own network in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long, and there were about 10 routes serving within the districts internally, most of them profitable. However, the government introduced the concept of the "Light Rail Service Area" in both districts, within which the LRT would monopolise all public transport services, forcing the KMB to withdraw all internal bus services in favour of the Light Rail. It also forced the KMB to impose boarding and alighting restrictions for external routes. It was decided that services between town centres and settlements would be provided solely by the Light Rail, while feeder buses operated by the KCRC would connect remote sites to the network, replacing KMB's equivalent services where applicable.

The system was completed and fully operational in September 1988. The first section was opened to the public on 14 September 1988, with free rides between Tuen Mun and Yuen Long; normal, all-day service began four days later, on 18 September.<ref name="mt-Jan89">Runnacles, T.V. (January 1989). "Tramway Developments in Hong Kong / Part 6: The Tuen Mun—Yuen Long LRT system". ''[[Tramways & Urban Transit|Modern Tramway & Light Rail Transit]]'', pp. 3–18. [[Ian Allan Publishing]]/[[Light Rail Transit Association]].</ref><ref>Hong Kong News ''[[Trolley Wire]]'' issue 235 November 1988 page 34</ref> The system consisted of two large and three small loops serving most of the [[public housing]] [[housing estate|estates]] in northern Tuen Mun. Three branches: one to On Ting Estate in the southeast, one to the [[Tuen Mun Ferry Pier]] in the southwest and another northern branch all the way into the town of [[Yuen Long]] along [[Castle Peak Road]]. It was then known as Light Rail Transit or LRT and is also called as the North-west Railway according to the Kowloon–Canton Railway Corporation Ordinance and Mass Transit Railway (North-west Railway) Bylaw.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cap 372 Kowloon–Canton Railway Corporation Ordinance|url=https://www.elegislation.gov.hk/hk/cap372|website=Hong Kong e-Legislation|publisher=Department of Justice|access-date=17 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=LCQ15: Mass Transit Railway By-laws and Mass Transit Railway (North-west Railway) Bylaw|url=http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201505/13/P201505130392.htm|publisher=Legislative Council|date=13 May 2015}}</ref>

The transit system is the first and the only one in Hong Kong to adopt a zonal fare system. The feeder buses have fares independent of these zones, but provide discounts when passengers interchange between these buses and LRT. Seventy single-deck LRVs were manufactured in [[Dandenong rolling stock factory|Melbourne]] and [[Brisbane]], Australia by [[Commonwealth Engineering|Comeng]], to be shipped to Hong Kong for the seven LRT routes in the system.<ref>Dateline Hong Kong 8-8-88 ''[[Transit Australia]]'' January 1989 pages 3-10</ref> Three of the routes were to Yuen Long and the others were confined to Tuen Mun.

===Extensions===
The system's first extension came for the southern and eastern parts of Tuen Mun. The eastern extension branches off the main line south of [[Siu Hong stop]] and crosses the river that runs through Tuen Mun immediately with a flyover. The line then runs along Castle Peak Road to a road north of the town centre, where it climbs to another flyover and rejoins the main route. The northern end of this extension is still the only non-triangular junction in the entire system.

The southern extension mainly consists of a route linking On Ting and Ferry Pier, on the newly [[Land reclamation in Hong Kong|reclaimed land]] near the [[river mouth]] of [[Tuen Mun River]], known as "Mouse Island" by locals. A short spur was also built from the extension to another terminus at Sam Shing Estate, located near [[Castle Peak Bay]]. Three LRT routes were diverted (route 505 was extended to Sam Shing) and one feeder bus route (route 559) discontinued as a result of these changes.

[[Tin Shui Wai]] was originally an area with numerous [[fish pond]]s, but was developed as a residential new town in the early 1990s. With the increase of internal commuter traffic demand, an LRT spur was built north of [[Hung Shui Kiu stop]] that opened in 1993, with four stops serving the initial housing areas of the town. The area was further developed in the next few years and the line was extended by two stops: [[Chestwood stop|Chestwood]] and [[Tin Wing stop]] in 1995 (Tin Shui Wai Terminus was renamed [[Tin Wing stop|Tin Wing]] after the opening of [[West Rail line]]). Two LRT routes were established, route 720 (now 751) to [[Yau Oi stop|Yau Oi]] and route 721 Before Changed to (761) Then changed to (761P) to [[Yuen Long stop|Yuen Long]].

===West Rail===
The system remained essentially unchanged until the completion of the [[West Rail line|West Rail]] (now [[Tuen Ma line]]) in December 2003. Many changes were made, mainly around the new railway stations. The [[Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation|KCRC]] designed most railway stations in the LRT area to interchange with the new West Rail line. The idea was to encourage passengers to use the West Rail line instead of the Light Rail for longer journeys, thereby freeing up LRT vehicles for passengers making shorter journeys. For this purpose, an interchange discount system was launched with the introduction of the West Rail line system, meaning that passengers would pay no more (and in some cases less) to travel on West Rail line instead of the LRT for the main part of their journey. Although this most recent extension is the largest ever, no new vehicles were purchased. And although rearrangements were made, some infrequent and unreliable services resulted, causing passengers to blame the lack of vehicles and poor arrangement of new services.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PzMUSVcZ1M (8 December 2003)亞洲電視-輕鐵新支線第一個工作天], YouTube</ref> The KCRC has since modified the inside of some vehicles to allow more standing room for passengers during peak hours. They also made several route alterations to arrange them better.

In addition to the reconfiguration of light rail tracks around the new West Rail stations, the system was extended to reach northern Tin Shui Wai to serve ongoing development there.<ref name="tswextensions">{{cite web |title=KCRC Light Rail Tin Shui Wai extensions to open on 7 December |url=http://www.kcrc.com/en/announcements/2003/031128b.html |publisher=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation |date=28 November 2003 |access-date=10 December 2020 |archive-date=15 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215185654/http://www.kcrc.com/en/announcements/2003/031128b.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==Rolling stock==
[[File:KCR Light Rail Route 751.jpg|thumb|Phase I LRV in KCR livery]]
The system's vehicles consist of five different types of [[Light rail|LRVs]]. All LRVs are [[Uni-directional vehicle|uni-directional]] with driving cab on one side only, {{Convert|20.2|m|ftin}} long, and have 3 sliding doors fitted on the left side (when facing the running direction from inside). This means that island platforms (except the triangular platform at [[Siu Hong stop]]) cannot be used at all in the LRT system and the termini have to feature [[Balloon loop|loops]] for LRVs to reverse in direction. Hong Kong and [[Trams in Kolkata|Kolkata]] are the only cities with unidirectional left-handed trams.

Phase I LRVs were built by [[Commonwealth Engineering|Comeng]] and put in service in 1988. They are numbered 1001–1070 and accommodate 43 seated passengers and 161 standees. The driver's cab interior and exterior design was conceived for KCRC by [[Design Triangle]] in 1986. Phase II LRVs were built by [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries Rolling Stock Company|Kawasaki]] and entered service in 1992. They are numbered 1071-1090/1201-1210 and accommodate 26 seated and 185 standees. Cars 1071–1090 are cab cars while 1201–1210 are cabless trailers. Phase III LRVs were built by [[UGL Rail|A Goninan]] and entered service in 1997. They are numbered 1091–1110 and accommodate 26 seated and 212 standees. Phase IV LRVs were manufactured by [[UGL Rail|United Group]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Light Rail Vehicle |url=http://cdn.ugllimited.com/Asset/cms/Passengerr_Product_Brochures/084_LRV_ProductSheet_V5_WEB.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170713050142/http://cdn.ugllimited.com/Asset/cms/Passengerr_Product_Brochures/084_LRV_ProductSheet_V5_WEB.pdf |archive-date=13 July 2017 |website=UGL Limited}}</ref> and [[CSR Group|CSR]] and entered service in December 2009. They are numbered 1111–1132 accommodate 37 seated and 248 standees. Phase I LRVs have two wheelchair positions while Phase II, III, IV and V LRVs have three positions. The newest Phase V LRVs were manufactured by [[CRRC Nanjing Puzhen]] and entered service on 17 November 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |date=29 July 2016 |title=MTR Places Order for 40 New Light Rail Vehicles to Enhance Passenger Service in the Northwest New Territories |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/press_release/PR-16-067-E.pdf |access-date=20 June 2025 |website=www.mtr.com.hk}}</ref> They are numbered 1133-1162/1211-1220; 1133-1162 are cab cars while 1211-1220 are cabless trailer. 30 of these are set to replace existing Phase II LRVs, while the other 10 are for expansion.

Traction systems for Phase I and II LRVs consist of [[Gate turn-off thyristor|GTO thyristor]] [[Chopper (electronics)|choppers]] and [[Direct current|DC]] [[traction motors]] provided by [[AEG (German company)|AEG]], while those for the Phase III, IV and V LRVs consist of 2-level [[Insulated-gate bipolar transistor|IGBT]]–[[Variable-frequency drive|VVVF]] [[power inverter|inverters]] and asynchronous [[Three-phase electric power|3-phase AC]] traction motors provided by [[Mitsubishi Electric]]. The maximum speed for all LRVs is {{convert|80|km/h|abbr=on}}, although they rarely reach that speed because of the many grade crossings between stops and the close proximity between stops in Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai.

From the exterior it is difficult to differentiate between the first three types of LRVs. There are, however, distinct features that one can use to tell them apart; Phase III LRVs still retain their original green [[electronic displays]] while all other LRVs have new orange electronic displays. Phase I cars also have a wide window at the rear that can be opened in case of an emergency, while Phase II cars have a door at the back. The interior of the Phase III cars has a greenish look and the doors are also green. The Phase IV LRVs have a completely different appearance in contrast to the older phase. It has a white exterior livery with olive green and purple line on the side. The shape of the front of the LRV is more streamlined than the older phases. The door opening and closing mechanism was similar to the ones from the K-class cars used in the Tseung Kwan O line and Tung Chung line. The Phase IV has 3 surveillance cameras in each vehicle. Seat belts and wheelchair positions were also available in the Phase IV. On older-generation LRVs there is a perch seat but the Phase IVs do not maintain this feature. The refurbished Phase I LRVs have rounded rectangular windows while Phase IV LRVs have square ones.

The Phase II LRVs were not refurbished; upon the commissioning of 30 Phase V LRVs, this will see the Phase II LRVs phased out. Withdrawals began on 28 August 2022, with the first two Phase II LRVs (1079 and 1204) removed from Tuen Mun Depot and sent to the scrapyard.<ref>{{Citation |title=【年代更替】第二期輕鐵列車退役運送準備｜輕鐵｜輕鐵車廠 | date=29 August 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAGMJ78YgCY |language=en |access-date=2022-08-29}}</ref> On 26 February 2023, the last of the Phase II LRVs were officially withdrawn from service following a retirement ceremony.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Standard |first=The |title=MTR to retire 30-year-old light rail trains |url=https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/200525/MTR-to-retire-30-year-old-light-rail-trains |access-date=2023-03-31 |website=The Standard |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=26 February 2023 |title=Passengers Express Gratitude to Phase 2 Light Rail Vehicles Completing their 30-year Journey in Northwestern New Territories |url=https://www.mtr.com.hk/archive/corporate/en/press_release/PR-23-013-E.pdf |access-date=20 June 2025 |website=www.mtr.com.hk}}</ref> One of the retired cars now survives at the Ying Wa College and Primary School, transformed into a classroom.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-26 |title=Trains of thought: Hong Kong mass transit rail carriages become seats of learning |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/environment/article/3211216/trains-thought-end-line-hong-kong-mass-transit-rolling-stock-gets-new-lease-life-stationary |access-date=2023-06-22 |website=South China Morning Post |language=en}}</ref> Meanwhile, the Phase III LRVs are expected to be rebuilt and repainted with a scheme similar to the Phase IV LRVs. {{citation needed|date=November 2023}}

In June 2024, the MTR Corporation borrowed a hydrogen fuel cell-powered tram car from the Foshan Gaoming Tram Line 1 in China for a three-month testing program. The collected data were analyzed to support research on the potential application of hydrogen-powered transport in Hong Kong. The trials formed part of the government’s initiatives outlined in the 2024 Policy Address under ''The Strategy of Hydrogen Development''. .<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-28 |title=Hong Kong receives first hydrogen-powered light rail train in green energy push |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3268414/hong-kong-receives-first-hydrogen-powered-light-rail-train-green-energy-push |access-date=2024-09-09 |website=South China Morning Post |language=en}}</ref> The test had been finish,and the vehicle which sent back to China in December 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-22 |title=Hong Kong may drop plan to use hydrogen-powered light rail trains: lawmakers |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/transport/article/3291902/hong-kong-may-drop-plan-use-hydrogen-powered-light-rail-trains-lawmakers |access-date=2025-10-28 |website=South China Morning Post |language=en}}</ref>

== Fares ==
The Light Rail is the only [[public transport]] system in Hong Kong to have fare zones and the only one with an [[Proof-of-payment|honour system]], in which there are no ticket gates. These fare zones apply only to passengers purchasing single-ride tickets from ticketing machines at LRT stops. Since the introduction of [[Octopus card]]s, however, passengers have a choice of ticketing options. All fares indicated below are for adults, while children and the elderly usually pay the concessionary fare, which is about half the adult fare.

=== Single-ride tickets ===
There are six fare zones – 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 5A – for passengers purchasing single-ride tickets in Light Rail stops. Zone 5A was introduced solely for the latest extension in [[Tin Shui Wai]], and both zones 5 and 5A are only connected to Zone 4. Therefore, travelling between zones 5 and 5A is considered as travelling through three zones.

=== Octopus cards ===
[[Octopus card]] fares are calculated based on the minimum number of stops travelled (from origin to destination stops), rather than the number of fare zones travelled through. All stops have Octopus entry and exit processors at the entrances to and exits from [[railway platform|platforms]]. Passengers may enter the system after scanning their Octopus card at an orange 'Entry Processor' reader. At this point, the maximum fare is deducted from the card. On completion of a journey, the card previously read by an 'Entry Processor' must be scanned at a dark-green 'Exit Processor', where the maximum fare less the fare incurred is refunded. Failure to do so within the time limit would cause the fare difference to be forfeited. If a person exits the same platform with the same card within 5 minutes, the fare deducted will be fully refunded.

Light-blue 'Enquiry Processors' can also be found on most platforms. Like enquiry processors found in other places, passengers can check the balance on their card, along with the 10 most recent Octopus transactions. If a Personalised Octopus card is used, the number of Light Rail credits accumulated is also shown.

Passengers using [[Octopus card#Personalised cards|Personalised Octopus cards]] are able to participate in the Light Rail Bonus Scheme. A card on which fares totalling HK$30 (adults) or HK$15 (children/seniors) or more are paid over six consecutive days gets an automatic credit of HK$3 (adults) or HK$1.5 (children/seniors).

Passengers using Octopus cards that are registered with the MTR Club are automatically enrolled into the MTR Club Bonus Scheme. Members can earn Bonus Points by riding on the MTR, Airport Express, Light Rail and MTR Bus with their registered Octopus card during the promotion period. Members can then redeem these points for exclusive rewards. Passengers can visit the MTR website for the information of the gift during that particular promotion period.
