Chinese High Speed Rail Passengers Attempts to Walk from Hong Kong to China after Missing his Stop
Lawnaker Jeremy Tam stated that in early December a Chinese passenger, who got on from Changsha South station in China, missed their stop at Shenzhen North station and reached West Kowloon Station in Hong Kong as a consequence.
They, however, did not ask for help or enter Hong Kong via border control. Instead they walked the rail north in attempts of going back to China.
In the end, they walked 10 km to Kwai Chung, where they exited the tracks via the ventilation emergency exit. Once they found that they still had not left Hong Kong, they reported to the nearby police station.
Tam denounced the absurdity of the situation, stating that he was suspicious of the authenticity of the report due to its absurdity. Yet he received a reply from the government yesterday which prompted him to speak out against the situation. Tam excoriates Co-location arrangement.
