Liu Chun-san, Hong Kong's Acting Secretary for Transport and Logistics, stated that at the design stage of the Hong Kong West Kowloon Station (WEK), consideration has been given to the operational needs of the station, with spaces reserved for shops. At present, there is a diversity of shops and vending machines on Level B1, B2 and Ground Level of the WEK to meet the different needs of passengers, Liu said. The majority of the retail spaces have already been leased out. Since the commissioning of the XRL Hong Kong Section and WEK in 2018, MTR CORPORATION (00066.HK), as the Hong Kong operator of the XRL Hong Kong Section, has been closely monitoring the operation of the station as well as the traveling pattern and demand of passengers while continuously enhancing the station facilities and XRL services as necessary, Liu added. MTR CORPORATION also maintains ongoing communication with its tenants and reviews the operation of the shops for continuous enhancement of services and customer experience. The waiting hall at the WEK falls within the boundary of the Mainland Port Area (MPA), where all operating arrangements must comply with the "co-location arrangement", Liu explained. The Hong Kong government is actively working with MTR CORPORATION on refining the arrangement for providing food and beverage services and shops at the waiting hall in the MPA. There have been preliminary discussions with the relevant Mainland authorities regarding the feasible arrangements for the operation of shops and the regulatory work. Further follow-up is underway, with a view to providing food and beverage services and shops at the waiting hall as soon as practicable. AAStocks Financial News |
