Questions & Answers on Shenzhen to Hong Kong Train

Asked by wx from SINGAPORE | Dec. 16, 2023 05:20

Transfer of train

Hello there, I will be taking the 07:03 train from Hong Kong West Kowloon and will arrive at Shenzhen North at 07:21. Which platform number will the train arrive at? I have 10 mins to board the 07:31 train from Shenzhen North to Xiamen.

Does the train depart at the same platform or do I have to walk to another platform? If yes, which platform number? Will I be able to make it within 10 mins? Appreciate your advice.

Answered by Harry | Dec. 17, 2023 19:43

I'm afraid it is not the same platform and you need to check your train tickets. Anyway, it is basically impossible to transfer in such a short time because the train station will stop checking tickets 5 minutes before departure. It is suggested to change your train ticket.
