History

The station opened in a temporary location on 15 August 1983 as part of the greater electrification and double-tracking modernisation programme of the KCR. The original location was on Shing Chuen Road (成全路), north of the current station on the opposite side of the nullah.[1] The permanent station opened at its present location on 23 April 1986.

In 2001, the station underwent expansion and construction ended in September 2004. The new concourse area was opened in the same month. Since 21 December that year, the station has served as the terminus of the Ma On Shan line (then Ma On Shan Rail), as well as the interchange station between it and the East Rail. Southbound passengers from the Tuen Ma line can change to East Rail line trains on the southbound via a station walkway. The cross-platform interchange is similar to that found at other MTR stations.[2]^{[clarification needed]}

Automatic platform gates were retrofitted on the Ma On Shan line platforms in 2015–2016.

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. As opposed to be a terminus Tai Wai station became an intermediate station on this temporary new line.

On 27 June 2021, the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 operationally 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, Tai Wai was included in the project and is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line, Hong Kong's longest railway line.

Station layout

All platforms on the station are side platforms. Platforms 1 and 2 serve the East Rail line and platforms 3 and 4 serve the Tuen Ma line. Platforms 3 and 4 are positioned slightly higher than Platforms 1 and 2.[3]

Platforms 2 and 3 serve southbound trains on the East Rail and Tuen Ma lines respectively and are connected by four large walkways. This makes it possible for southbound passengers to walk directly between the two platforms, without the need to use stairs, escalators or lifts.[3]
