Tsuen Wan West is an underground MTR station in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong. It is located between and stations on the . There is an emergency platform on the southern side of the station.
There is a large bus and minibus interchange above the station, connecting it with most residential areas, factories, and shopping centres in the area. However, during the early days of operation the station had little passenger traffic. Only a small number of residents in a few nearby residential estates and workers from nearby factories use the station. However, with the opening of new developments in central Tsuen Wan such as the 80 storey Nina Tower, Vision City, and City Point, traffic has increased. Additional MTR property development on nearby lands such as City Point and Pavilion Bay has also commenced circa 2014. These projects should also bolster the station's ridership.
Although the station is in the same region as Tsuen Wan station, the two stations have different fares. For example, passengers have to pay HK$1.7-4.0 more if they are going to Hong Kong Island, although it is faster and more convenient. Only out-of-system interchange is available for the pair.
The campsite for the 2012 edition of Brighton Community Church YF Camp 'Deep and Wide' is located near this station and Tsuen Wan station on the Tsuen Wan line. The camp was held from the 17th to the 20th of December 2012. Team captains could decide to meet their team members at this station or Tsuen Wan station.
The construction of the station was very complex. It required the diversion of some roads, the demolition of two factories, part of a nearby park, and the relocation of a ferry pier which originally occupied the site. The station was designed by Farrells.[1] The waterfront promenade built along with the station's construction connected the two ends of Tsuen Wan, significantly improved the scenery of the area, and provided a leisure place for many residents of southern and western Tsuen Wan.
On 20 December 2003, Tsuen Wan West station opened to the public with the first phase of the KCR West Rail.[2]
On 27 June 2021, the merged with the (which was already extended into the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 at the time) in East Kowloon to form the new, as part of the Shatin to Central Link project. Hence, Tsuen Wan West is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line.
