East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (尖東站) is a former KCR station now serving the MTR as the southern terminus of the East Rail Line. East Tsim Sha Tsui Station is the second newest station (behind Lok Ma Chau Station) on the MTR system. It opened on 24 October 2004, symbolising the return of the East Rail Line to Tsim Sha Tsui after 30 years. The project was known as the "East Rail Tsim Sha Tsui Extension". The line was extended from Hung Hom, the previous terminus, to Signal Hill, where the new station is located, through a tunnel beneath Salisbury Road.
The station was built to alleviate surface traffic jams and passenger congestion at Kowloon Tong Station. The distance from Hung Hom to the station is about one kilometre with the journey time of less than two minutes. However, the fares are unusually high (e.g., from Sha Tin, the fare to Hung Hom is only HK$4.90, but the fare to the East Tsim Sha Tsui station is HK$7.40, pre-merger $5.10 and $7.60 respectively).
The current status of East Tsim Sha Tsui Station as a terminus station is only temporary. When the West Rail Line is extended through the Kowloon Southern Link, the terminus of the East Rail Line will be relocated back to Hung Hom, with East Tsim Sha Tsui becoming an intermediate station on the West Rail Line.
Due to inadequacy of space on display screens, the full name "East Tsim Sha Tsui" is not shown on platform information displays nor on trains heading to the station. Instead, the abbreviations, "E. TST" and "E. Tsimshatsui", are used respectively.
