Ngau Tau Kok Station

Ngau Tau Kok (Chinese: 牛頭角; Cantonese Yale: Ngàutàugok) is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong line. It is located in the Ngau Tau Kok area of Kowloon East, between Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay stations. It was among the earliest stations in the network, becoming operational on 1 October 1979.

Ngau Tau Kok is one of three stations to be located above ground on the line, the others being Kwun Tong and Kowloon Bay. The majority of passengers use Ngau Tau Kok station to commute.

Due to difficulties in installing platform screen doors (PSDs) in above ground stations, the MTR decided not to install PSDs in this station, instead installing automatic platform gates (APGs) on the station's platforms in 2011.

History

Contract 211 consisting the construction of the stations and adjacent line sections was awarded to Hip Hing Construction Limited.

Ngau Tau Kok station opened when the Kwun Tong line opened on 1 October 1979.

Station layout

Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform, and the east parts are curved, so the gap between platform and train is large.
