free3_content=Kam Sheung Road (Chinese: 錦上路站) is a MTR station located between
Pat Heung andKam Tin inHong Kong . It is between Tsuen Wan West and Yuen Long stations. Kam Sheung Road was the arena for the HK-MTR lines|West Rail'sopening ceremony .The station is to the north of the rail depot of the line, and the
control centre for the HK-MTR lines|West Rail is also next to the station. However, the station itself is a short distance from the actual rural towns ofKam Tin orPat Heung . Originally there were various choices as to the station's name, but residents from nearby could not decide upon the name of the settlements that the station would be named after, so the main road nearest to the station was used instead.From
26 September to28 November 2004 , theWest Rail Sightseeing Bus was introduced, attracting thousands of Kowloon Residents and causing long queues for the buses.Although the station is not expected to have high passenger traffic, the station attracts quite a number of villagers from
Kam Tin andPat Heung since the HK-MTR lines|West Rail is their only direct link to the urban areas inKowloon . If the northern extension of the line (to Lok Ma Chau) and the proposed Regional Express are built, Kam Sheung Road will serve as the interchange with the main line, and the station will be expanded as well.tation layout
Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform. Although the train tracks are exposed from above, platform screen doors are still fitted.
