Railway service between Kowloon, Hong Kong and Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong province will be delayed because of construction works, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation announced in Hong Kong on Sunday.
It said temporary speed restrictions are imposed on all trains running through Guangshen line to facilitate the construction work of the 4th track between Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Therefore, train journey between Guangzhou and Kowloon will be lengthened by about 15 to 40 minutes, which will lead to the arrival delays from 30 to 80 minutes.
The spokesman said temporary arrangements are expected to last until the construction works are completed by early March.
