Lok Ma Chau is the northwestern terminus in Lok Ma Chau on the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, a branch line of the HK-MTR lines|East Rail built to alleviate the overcrowded checkpoint between Hong Kong and mainland China at Lo Wu station. Unfortunately, there are only a small number of passengers using the station. Therefore, the MTR Corporation is promoting the Lok Ma Chau spur line.

This station, together with the spur line, opened on the afternoon of August 15, 2007. The adjoining Huanggang Station of the Shenzhen Metro opened on June 28, 2007. Like Lo Wu Station, this station is located in the Frontier Closed Area.

Pedestrian footbridge

Lok Ma Chau station also connects to the Shenzhen Metro's Huanggang Station via a footbridge and Hong Kong and Mainland China immigration control points.

The pedestrian crossing between Lok Ma Chau Station and Huanggang in Shenzhen, officially referred to as the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line checkpoint, opened on 15 August 2007 together with the opening of KCRC's Lok Ma Chau Spur Line between Lok Ma Chau and Sheung Shui Station. The crossing consists of a double-deck pedestrian bridge across the Sham Chun River which forms the border between Hong Kong and mainland China. The lower deck handles pedestrians heading from Hong Kong to the mainland while the upper deck handles those coming from the mainland to Hong Kong. Immigration facilities are located within the station building just before/after the bridge. Unlike the vehicular checkpoint, the pedestrian checkpoint is open between 06:30 and 22:30. Although the Lok Ma Chau pedestrian checkpoint is often referred to as a railway crossing, it is in fact purely a pedestrian crossing as the railway line does not actually cross the border into Mainland China here, unlike in Lo Wu where the railway line continues into the mainland and there are through-train services. And although the bulk of the users are train passengers, the Lok Ma Chau pedestrian crossing can also be reached by bus from various parts of the New Territories. The Lok Ma Chau transport interchange is located to the east of Lok Ma Chau station and is connected with the station via pedestrian bridges. The entrance and exit between the station and the interchange are guarded by the police as the area is located within the Frontier Closed Area. KMB bus routes B1, N277, N76, 76K, and 276B all service this interchange point.
