If one carefully looks out from the while moving towards the direction of Shek Kip Mei, there is a reserved space for a track connecting the East Rail Line and the Kwun Tong Line. This was originally designed to allow Metro-Cammells to be transferred to the Kwun Tong Line when they are unloaded at Hung Hom. But the track was never built as the MTR decided to use lorries to carry all of its cars to the Kowloon Bay Depot.
