SUNNY BAY (MTR)

'Sunny Bay' is an MTR station in Yam O (陰澳). It is between Tung Chung and Tsing Yi stations. The station is an interchange station between the 'Tung Chung Line' and the train to Hong Kong Disneyland. The station was originally to be named ''Yam O'' (陰澳). ''Yam O'' was not used probably because of its ominous connotations (Cantonese ''Yam'' is more commonly known to English speakers as Mandarin ''yin'', which means darkness or a negative quality).
The station is the first MTR station to have automatic platform gates (APG) installed on the edge of the platforms. These gates range from 1/2 to 3/4 the height of the platform screen doors in other MTR stations. Unlike most of the MTR stations, Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort Station do not have air conditioners, and rely on their open architecture to keep the temperature low.
Services to the station commenced on 1 June 2005. The transfer facilities to the Disneyland Resort Line opened 1 August2005. The livery of the station is slate grey. Platforms 1 (Tung Chung Line towards Tung Chung) and 3 (Disneyland Resort Line) are located opposite to each other to allow easy interchange of trains for passengers travelling from the urban areas.
The 'Airport Express' line passes through the center of the station without stopping.
This station features emergency platforms.
