沙中綫又一新里程 –「新隊員」加盟東鐵綫！ Another SCL milestone – "New members" joining the East Rail Line!

【沙中綫又一新里程 –「新隊員」加盟東鐵綫！】
為咗配合沙中綫項目將東鐵綫延伸過海，東鐵綫新信號系統喺9月12日（星期六）開始運作，而我哋嘅「新隊員」— 全新韓國製東鐵綫列車亦會陸續同大家見面！

喺營運中嘅鐵路綫更換新信號系統絕不容易，大部分工序都要喺短短非行車時間內完成。經過工程同車務團隊400幾個夜晚分秒必爭嘅奮鬥，新系統將會喺9月12 日正式啟用！

同日出場嘅主角仲有全新9卡列車！喺未來18個月，佢哋會陸續取代現有嘅12卡列車。呢段時間，兩款列車會同時喺東鐵綫「混跑」，大家放心，公司會確保期間車務運作暢順，車站亦有措施協助乘客適應，等大家有個舒適嘅旅程。到時見！

(9月11日更新： 東鐵綫新信號系統及新列車將會暫緩投入服務)

[Another SCL milestone – "New members" joining the East Rail Line!]
To facilitate the East Rail Line (EAL) extension across the harbour under the Shatin to Central Link (SCL) project, the new EAL signalling system will commence operation starting from 12 September (Saturday). It is not easy at all to replace the signalling system on an operating railway line as most of the works had to be completed within the short period of non-traffic hours. With the efforts of the teams who spent over 400 nights racing against time, the new system will soon be put into service.

Other members to greet you on the same date are the new 9-car EAL trains manufactured in South Korea! They will gradually replace the existing 12-car trains over the coming 18 months. Rest assured that we will strive to maintain smooth train services during the mixed-fleet operation. Measures will also be in place at stations to assist passengers for comfortable journeys.

(Update on 11 September: Commissioning of new signalling system and trains on East Rail Line will be held over)
