Wu Kai Sha is the southern terminal station on the Tuen Ma line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. It is located between Sai Sha Road and Sha On Street in Wu Kai Sha, serving the many housing estates and schools nearby. The station was originally named "Lee On station" when the Ma On Shan line was under construction, because the station is located to the east of Lee On Estate.
History
On 21 December 2004, Wu Kai Sha station opened to the public with the other KCR Ma On Shan Rail stations.
On 14 February 2020, the Ma On Shan line was extended south to a new terminus in Kai Tak, as part of the first phase of the Shatin to Central Link Project. The Ma On Shan line was renamed Tuen Ma line Phase 1 at the time. Wu Kai Sha station became the northern terminus of this temporary new line.
On 27 June 2021, the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 officially merged with the West Rail line in East Kowloon to form the new Tuen Ma line, as part of the Shatin to Central link project. Hence, Wu Kai Sha was included in the project and is now the southern terminus of the Tuen Ma line.
