Hung Hom Station (紅磡站), formerly known as Kowloon Station (九龍站) is a station on the East Rail Line in Hong Kong. It is located in Hung Hom, Kowloon.
This station was opened in 1974 because the old Kowloon station at Tsim Sha Tsui was too small, had no room for expansion and was therefore demolished in the same year (although the clock tower still stands). This new Kowloon station, later renamed Hung Hom station, served as the terminus of East Rail until 24 October 2004, when the East Tsim Sha Tsui Station at East Tsim Sha Tsui opened. The expanded part of the concourse in Hung Hom station was opened in 2001, making it the largest KCR station, before the opening of East Tsim Sha Tsui station.
It now serves as a midway station of East Rail Line, as well as the terminus of intercity services with destinations to major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, as well as Zhaoqing, Foshan, Dongguan in Guangdong.
Hung Hom Station is one of the three Hong Kong port-of-entry on East Rail Line, along with Lo Wu Station and Lok Ma Chau Station.
Before the relocation of Kowloon terminus from Tsim Sha Tsui to Hung Hom in 1974, a station named Hung Hom was located at Chatham Road South, next to the then coastline of Hung Hom Bay and near Gun Club Hill Barracks.
It should be noted that Hung Hom still carries signage as well as on the roads/area nearby referring to the Hung Hom transport interchange as "Railway Terminus". Although East Tsim Sha Tsui is the current terminus, this will revert back to Hung Hom when the Kowloon Southern Link opens in 2009, where the East Rail Line will meet the West Rail Line at Hung Hom (and East Tsim Sha Tsui will become a West Rail Line intermediate station).
Since Hung Hom Station is located near the Cross Harbour Tunnel, it serves as an important transport interchange for passengers heading to and from Hong Kong Island.
