    MTR East Rail Line to introduce 9-car trains at increased intervals

    East Rail tweaks will cut congestion: Michael Tien - RTHK
    The railway operator says that from the middle of next year, it will gradually begin to switch from 12-car trains on the line to trains with just nine cars.

    But it says trains will arrive every two minutes during peak periods, compared to three at present.

    Not enough trains? They are already at capacity.

    Capacity will be boosted with these new measures. Good idea.
