Parallel-goods traders were dealt another blow yesterday when the MTR Corporation announced a new baggage weight limit, which could cut by as much as two-thirds the amount of cargo they can take on trains.

The 32kg limit on passengers' luggage will come into force on Tuesday, with a focus on four busy stations near the border with Shenzhen - Sheung Shui, Fanling, Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau.
