this is probably the best / worst video I have made. there is no in between.
By the time this video drops I would have returned to the uk to continue with my studies, and probably won't be able to return to HK before Easter, so expect this to be the only video on my main channel for a while.
Also, I apologize if I left out some of the details / gave wrong information about the line in the video. I don't have any sort of script for my videos, so I was basically just saying whatever entered my mind.

Here's a list of what I think I missed though:
Upbound platforms (Kowloon, Tsing Yi) are boarding only. You cannot exit through the gates at the upbound platforms.
Downbound platforms (Tsing Yi, Kowloon) are alighting only. You cannot enter through the gates at the downbound platforms. (except for 7-10am on weekdays and saturdays, when the line offers morning express service)
Kowloon station is connected to Hong Kong West Kowloon station on the High Speed Rail. Walk time is about 10 minutes assuming perfect conditions and a walking speed of 1.25 m/s.
tl;dr it's actually pretty nice.

Let me know if I missed anything more in the comments. I'll add it here.

Shoutout to ‪@CommunistLenin‬ for telling me about the offer
