[edit] Details of the article
This page needs more context, the company is based in Hong Kong, is the train there also? is it a public train? Passenger, cargo? [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 06:52, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Non-existing stations
I removed the links to the non-existant train station articles as I don't think articles on individual train stations on this system can or will be encyclopedic, they were then added back. If you have any reason to think they are please post it here. [[User:Cohesion|cohesion ☎]] 07:17, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- This article itself is already NOT encyclopedic enough, but I think stations match the case since London Underground stations have their own entries too. (Of course it would be better to make Hong Kong railway entries in Chinese version too, but there's not enough even generic entries.) Patrickov 09:23, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Intercity passenger and freight trains
Intercity passenger and freight trains share some of the tracks with the East Rail. Do anyone know how many percent (%) of traffics on East Rail tracks are dedicated to local metro-like service? -- 14:43 January 25, 2005, UTC
[edit] Headway, capacity, size, etc.
Frequency (headway), capacity and size of rolling stocks, etc., are all available on web. Should these be added to the article, or a linked separate article, like what this article has done? -- 14:45 January 25, 2005, UTC
[edit] Freight stations
To my understanding Hung Hom is the only station handling non-domestic passenger train services. How many freight train stations are there on the East Rail? I know there was one at Ho Man Tin, and there are freight facilities at Fo Tan and Sha Tin stations, and there is a track leading to the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse. --14:49 January 25, 2005, UTC
[edit] KCR/KCRC split
I personally believe that KCR should be split along the lines of MTR and MTR Corporation, i.e., for the rail line articles, namely East Rail (KCRC), West Rail (KCRC) and the LRT article to talk about the history of the rail lines, and for the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation article to talk about the company itself. What do you think? My message is also on the individual talk pages.
Also, this page should probably be renamed KCR East Rail because this is how KCRC brands it. JuntungWu 15:53, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
