Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, right, visits the HKU (Hong Kong University) Station on the extension of MTR's West Island Line in Hong Kong, China, 27 December 2014. After a bruising year beset with delayed projects, budget overruns and breakdowns, the MTR Corporation finally has something to celebrate with the opening - on time - of the West Island Line extension on Sunday (28 December 2014). Hong Kong Chief Executive C. Y. Leung attended the opening ceremony on Saturday and tried out the MTR's new West Island Line with citizens. Beginning construction in 2009, the western extension of the Island Line (dubbed the ®West Island Line¯) is set to open in 2014. The Island Line currently ends at Sheung Wan, one stop west of Central (Hong Kong¯s central business district), but the extension will add three new stops, including Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong University, and terminating at Kennedy Town.
