The Mass Transit Railway Corp (MTRC) is considering renaming the future Tai Kok Tsui Station along the new airport railway, possibly to Cherry Station, the company's property director, Thomas Ho Hang-kwong, says.

The proposed new name reflected the planned new environment for the reclaimed land in the extended district of Mongkok, Mr Ho said.

The idea for the name change came partly at the request of developers.

Mr Ho said the name was suggested by local communities which had Cherry Street, which is next to the future station, in mind.

'We will definitely consider the proposal,' said Mr Ho, adding that a decision would be made within two months.

The design for the Tai Kok Tsui Station development was made before building height restrictions were relaxed, said Mr Ho.
