OMG! I lived it! I was a little boy in the 90s visiting HK and remember riding the old M train with my mom. I was so fascinated with it that I wish my mom could take me more rides on it. I lived in Texas, USA, where I don't have the privilege of being in HK daily. I only went there to visit my grandmother living Kowloon Bay. Even to this day as a 35 year old man, I long to have the M train back again. Although, its still around in the new modernised version, I still believe its still with me. 4:09 Before the inside cab TV monitors of watching the passengers crossing into the train. 6:14 seeing how the train snakes its way into HK is something that brings back memories!
@@azuma892 i wish I could too!!! But i’m living in California, USA 🙃 will ride it again come October 2024 when i finish my US Air Force basic training.
The new Q-trains will start running on my local line next week. If you want to see the M trains you gotta be quick, they will be fully replaced very soon.
This is MTR, not KCR; KCR used to operate the current East Rail Line and Tuen Ma Line until the Rail Merger with the MTR. The line here is the Tsuen Wan Line which was operated by the MTR ever since its opening being the original MTR lines.
Woah never known that there’s a money train and it’s running underground. I’ve always thought that only M trains run on this line Maybe I’m born after 2000 is the reason
This is the MTR network, not KCR KCR network only count from Kowloon Canton Railway British Section Which is operate by KCRC Your video showing are operate by Mass Transit Railway company MTRC.not KCRC before merge in 2007 Both system and company are separated. MTRC operate underground/metro Railway. KCRC only operates the national railway service/Intercity and light rail. that means your video title is totally wrong
@@coronadojet The video showing are Underground railway network is MTR operate by MTRC(Mass Trainsit Railway company). For you be easier understanding.I try using german terms. MTR Network is U-Bahn. KCR network is DB ICE/Regio.? Its that clear?
I found many different articles about this underground metro system, one of user from Great Britain, with a picture of day of roll out at Metro Cammell, who namend it KCR. Unfortunately I cannot understand or read the Chinese language or articles. Like always in history, mistakes are being repeated, if you didn’t understand the language. So far, as I know as able to research on the internet is the fact, that in English language you will find absolutely nothing about this money train, neither an information nor a photo! So far my video is unique - that’s most important!
@coronadojet I think it is a misunderstanding. Because both KCR and MTR had bought the train from Metro Cammell. But they are totally different. It just had a similar shape. BUT KCR rolling stock is run in AC and using lots of equipment derative from British Rail. It major usage is for the electrification of KCR network (This train got retire recently last year.) MTRC,On the other hang train carriage is new clean sheet design.It had influenced by London Tube Victoria Line .But it also had bogie from DUEWAG in Germany. Both train distinctive feature are MTRC train got had open gangway design.Automatic train operation,front emergency exit, and ramp and run in DC 1500 power It just paints in white color on the front. KCRC, on the other hand Train had narrow gangway door on each carriage.only threevpair of door on each side and run in AC 25kv power.Front painted in Yellow for visible reason. It can.maxium form in 12 car length Did you have any contact information. I could help you understand more. The money collector train is a different story. Both companies bought different types of locomotive for maintainece and engineering purposes.
Sorry, but you are wrong! KCR was due to merger with MTR renamed on April 11th 2006! On 11 April 2006, the Hong Kong Government officially announced the details of the proposed merger. Under the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding the Government has signed with KCRC, KCRC would grant a Service Concession to the MTRCL to operate the KCR system, with an initial period of 50 years. The KCRC would receive a one-time upfront payment of HK$4.25 billion, a fixed annual payment of HK$750 million and a variable annual payment based on revenues generated from operation of the KCR system. In addition, MTRCL would make a payment of $7.79 billion for the acquisition of property and other related commercial interests. The railway lines the KCRC operated were less profitable than the MTRC, and the KCRC was less active in property development. It was widely considered that the Government's choice was made to avoid being criticised for selling assets of the KCRC - which it wholly owned - to MTRCL at an underpriced level. Leasing the operation right of the KCR system to the MTRCL could avoid actually selling the KCRC.
@coronadojet the contents shown in the video is part of the MTR At that time, KCRC only had the KCR British Section, which is part of the MTR East Rail Line nowadays
@@coronadojet In the last few seconds of your video, you can hear the passenger announcement said "Thank you for travelling with the Mass Transit Railway", therefore you are filming the MTR section but not the KCR section. They are two different companies at that time.
Thx for the video. I heard of but have not seen the money train. And i remember the vibe of MTR in 1990s, good old days.
How is it possible to feel nostalgic towards an era before you were born? 🥲

I ride the refurbished M trains almost daily, unfortunately they don't have much time left.

@@azuma892 yes for sure haha. I last rode the M train in 2019 in HK during the riots.

I had never realize that Hong Kong MTR has money train.
So good and very nice to hear NO mandarin at the in car announcements. Only Cantonese and English.👍👍
yes 😊
6:39 點解當時去到油麻地站有廣播叫乘客落車？當時油麻地站係島式月台係站前應該係唔使請所有乘客落車
有沒有一個可能，是到達尾站之後不再載客，吉車回廠？
yes 😊
可能接近尾車時段,當時觀塘線仍以油麻地做總站,咪在該站清客回廠。另外觀塘線東隧過海期間,繁忙時間過後所有回廠車係咪只由鰂魚涌出發?
Yes
東涌線通車之前3條線到了總站的廣播是這樣（最尾粵語是說「多謝乘搭本公司列車」而不是「多謝乘搭地鐵」），不論是站前折返還是站後折返。
當年未有東涌綫及機埸快綫線路圖，天花月台編號未換屬線底色

Just to remind, that today with glass walls on the plattforms you are not able to film the trains!
