Hong Kong Section of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link

The Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL), which will link Hong Kong to the Shibi Station at Guangzhou through the Futian Station and the Longhua Station at Shenzhen, will form part of the national high-speed rail network. By means of this new intercity rail corridor, the journey time between Guangzhou and Hong Kong would be reduced from 100 minutes to 50 minutes.

The Hong Kong section of the XRL will run along a dedicated corridor from a new terminus at West Kowloon to the boundary near Lok Ma Chau for connection with the Mainland section of the XRL. The Regional Express Line envisaged in Railway Development Strategy 2000 now becomes the Hong Kong section of the XRL.
