One of the oldest stations in the network and it definitely shows. Some will complain that it's one of the open-air stations, so it doesn't have air conditioning, but I think this station has other issues to worry about... namely the lack of modern wheelchair accessibility facilities. While most stations have been retrofitted with those automated glass elevators that most Hong Kong commuters now take for granted, Tsuen Wan station appears to still be in the queue for such a retrofit, considering how it still features those manual elevators with metal shutters that you have to pull open and closed... if I'm not mistaken, a station attendant needs to be present to operate it.
Other than that, this is still a good station. You have helpful staff, lots of amenities such as ATMs bakeries and convenience stores, as well as a bunch of shopping centres that are connected to the station. There's also a bus interchange for services that travel onwards towards Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, and if you board a train here, you're pretty much guaranteed a seat on the train. read more
