MTR to run overnight trains during Mid-Autumn Festival

The MTR Corporation has announced that it will offer overnight services during the Mid-Autumn Festival (Sep 17), allowing the public to partake in and celebrate the occasion.

All local railway lines -- except the Airport Express, Disneyland Resort Line, and to or from Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau stations on the East Rail Line -- as well as seven Light Rail routes (including 505, 507, 610, 614P, 615P, 706 and 751) will operate overnight.

Around 520 train trips will be added in total, the railway operator said.

Moreover, eight MTR railway lines will gradually enhance service with evening peak train frequencies starting from 3 pm on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Island Line, Tsuen Wan Line, Kwun Tong Line and Tseung Kwan O Line will run train trips at about 2-minute intervals after enhancement.

After 8 pm, some of the abovementioned lines will also provide more frequent train services than usual in the evenings, with trains running every three to four minutes. 

In addition, MTR Bus routes 506, K51, and K54 will also extend their service hours.
