The North South Corridor is a Hong Kong MTR railway line that is part of the Sha Tin to Central Link project. It is on the ready-to-build stage. It will extend the East Rail Line to Admiralty station through the fourth cross-harbour railway tunnel in Hong Kong.[1] Before the rail merger, services on the operational sections of the line were provided by KCRC. Completion of the line is scheduled in 2020.[2] It will also reduce train lengths to 9 cars from 12 cars when opened, due to platform restrictions in Hong Kong Island.[3]
