Abstract
West Rail Phase 1, planned and constructed by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), is a domestic line running from Yen Chow Street Station to Tuen Mun Centre Station with 7 intermediate stations at Mei Foo, Tsuen Wan West, Kam Tin, Yuen Long, Long Ping, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun North. The programme is anticipated for completion by the end of 2003.
According to Mr. Howard McKay, Construction Manager of West Rail Division, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, KCRC had commissioned numerous consultants for conducting diverse technical studies at the initial planning stage to revise various alignment and station options. Upon the Executive Council's authorization of the West Rail project last September, KCRC started preparing and inviting for tenders. Tai Lam Tunnel and Kwai Tsing Tunnels are the prelude of this dramatic civil and construction programme beyond the century.
由九廣鐵路公司(九鐵)規劃及興建的西鐵第一期，是一條連接西九龍及屯門的本地客運線，全長 30.3 公里，貫通欽州街和屯門市站，途經美孚，荃灣西，錦田，元朗，朗屏，天水圍及屯門北等 7 個中途站，預計於 2003 年年底通車。
九廣鐵路公司西鐵部建造經理麥啟賢先生指出，九鐵在早期規劃時，委託顧問公司進行多項技術研究，對西鐵行車路線及車站位置進行修正。隨著行政會議去年9月批准西鐵計劃，九鐵隨即籌備及展開招標工作，其中大欖隧道與葵青隧道率先揭開了這項跨世紀工程的序幕。
