With reference to your editorial “Opening of Tuen Ma line light at end of scandal-hit tunnel” (June 28), we would like to point out that, despite the accomplishments of the MTR in expanding the city’s railway network, the East Rail line stations are still without screen doors.

In addition, during heavy rain, passengers often get wet while waiting to board at East Rail stations because of the limited cover provided by the platform roof. In response to inquiries, the Transport Department said the MTR is not planning to extend the roof, given the importance of maintaining a safe and acceptable distance between the extended roof and the overhead power line.
