Hong Kong West Kowloon Station 香港西九龍站
West Kowloon station (abbreviated WEK), also known as Hong Kong West Kowloon (Chinese: 香港西九龍) and West Kowloon, is the terminus of the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link (HSR). It is the only station in the Hong Kong section and connects to the mainland China section through a dedicated tunnel. It was constructed by MTR Corporation.
The terminal railway station is located in Jordan, West Kowloon, north of the proposed West Kowloon Cultural District between the Airport Express and Tung Chung Line’s Kowloon Station and the West Rail Line’s Austin Station. The footprint of the new station extends into the basement of the West Kowloon Cultural District.
The original scheduled opening date of 2012 was delayed until 2015 following the shake-up of high-speed rail construction across China after the 2011 Wenzhou train collision. While construction of the station was still planned for completion in 2015, major flooding occurred in the railway tunnels under construction on 30 March 2014. This resulted in great damage to the tunnel boring machines. Internal MTR reports suggested causes were incomplete tender drawings, site surveys and planning before construction began. The station was formally opened on 4 September 2018 and high speed trains started to run to destinations in Mainland China from 23 September 2018.
RTHK reported that the final cost of the construction was 30% more than the initial estimate.
西九龍站（縮寫為WEK），又稱香港西九龍（中文：香港西九龍）及西九龍，是廣深港高速鐵路（HSR）香港段的終點站。它是香港地區唯一一個通過專用隧道連接中國大陸地段的車站。它由地鐵公司建造。
火車站位於西九龍佐敦，擬建於西九龍文化區以北，介於機場快線與東涌線九龍站及西鐵線的奧斯汀站之間。新站的足跡延伸至西九文化區的地下室。
繼2011年溫州火車相撞後，中國高速鐵路建設發生重大變化後，2012年原定的開放日期推遲至2015年。雖然該站的建設仍計劃在2015年完成，但2014年3月30日正在建設的鐵路隧道發生嚴重水災。這對隧道掘進機造成了極大的破壞。內部MTR報告建議原因是施工開始前的不完整的招標圖紙，現場調查和規劃。該站於2018年9月4日正式開放，高速列車於2018年9月23日開始運往中國大陸目的地。
香港電台報導，建造的最終成本比初步估計高出30％。
