A large number of mainland tourists left for Shenzhen immediately after the Victoria Harbour fireworks display on Chinese New Year's Eve. Some people went to Prince Edward to transfer to the Cross-boundary Day Pass, but encountered a long queue due to system failure;
Some people take the East Rail Line directly to Sheung Shui Station to wait for the first train to Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau due to the MTR's 24-hour service today, New Year's Day.
It is understood that some Hong Kong people from the north pointed out that a large number of mainland tourists queued up outside Sheung Shui Station to take an overnight bus to Lok Ma Chau to cross the border, but the bus company was sparse, resulting in a long queue, with no less than 1,000 people at the peak.
Hundreds of Mainland passengers arrived at Sheung Shui Station by MTR in the early hours of the morning and immediately sat on the ground, some on the ground and some at the staircase, causing considerable inconvenience to many passengers entering and leaving Sheung Shui.
It is reported that they are waiting for the first train to go to the border crossing to the north.
In addition, there were more than 1,000 people queuing up for the N73 overnight bus to the Lok Ma Chau Boundary Crossing Bus Terminal. Some passengers have complained that the bus company refused to work overtime, resulting in an increasing number of passengers, and considered KMB to be derelict in its duties.
Line N73 is an overnight service from Sha Tin Town Centre Station to San Tin Transport Interchange via Sheung Shui Railway Station, with services every 30 minutes from 0:00 to 5:30 a.m. daily.
The passenger said that since he had waited until early in the morning, he planned to transfer to the railway in the morning to transit Lo Wu. #实话实说#
