Since the opening of Hong Kong’s first urban railway line running between Kwun Tong and Shek Kip Mei on 1 October 1979, the local railway network has been expanding continuously. In recent years, besides the construction of new railway lines, there have also been extensions of and connections to existing lines of Hong Kong railway services. This has made the railway network more comprehensive and fostered community development.
At present, the city’s 271- kilometre railway network, consisting of 10 railway lines, Light Rail and the High Speed Rail (Hong Kong Section), serves all 18 districts across the territory and connects to a number of control points. Hongkong Post issues a set of special stamps on the theme of “Development of Railway Services in Hong Kong” featuring the characteristics of different railway lines and train types. It demonstrates that the railway services in Hong Kong have strengthened the connections among the local communities as well as between Hong Kong and the Mainland.
