The long-awaited partial opening of Hong Kong’s scandal-hit Sha Tin-Central rail link has been tentatively set for January 5 next year, with the embattled MTR Corporation expected to kick off its trial run on Monday, the Post has learned.

A source at the rail operator said the opening of the first part of the city’s most expensive rail project – a section from Tai Wai to Kai Tak – had been provisionally pencilled in for the first Sunday of 2020.
