MTR station inYam O (陰澳). It is between Tung Chung and Tsing Yi stations. The station is an interchange station between the HK-MTR lines|Tung Chung and the HK-MTR lines|Disneyland Resort toHong Kong Disneyland . The station was originally to be named "Yam O" (陰澳). "Yam O" was not used probably because of its ominous connotations (Cantonese "Yam" is more commonly known to English speakers as Mandarin "yin", which means darkness or a negative quality).The station is the first MTR station to have
automatic platform gates (APG) installed on the edge of the platforms. These gates range from 1/2 to 3/4 the height of theplatform screen doors found in other MTR stations. In line with ground level and above-ground MTR stations, Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort Station are not air conditioned, and rely on their open architecture to keep the temperature low.Services to the station commenced on
1 June 2005 . The transfer facilities to theDisneyland Resort Line opened1 August 2005 . The livery of the station is slate grey. Platforms 1 (Tung Chung Line towards Tung Chung) and 3 (Disneyland Resort Line) are located opposite to each other to allow easy interchange of trains for passengers travelling from the urban areas.The Airport Express line passes through the center of the station without stopping.
