[edit] Turnstiles
I know that the Airport station doesn't have any turnstiles or gate barriers separating paid and unpaid zones of the station (for good reason); is this true for the other stations too? I was thinking this is worth mentioning.

- The Airport Station is the only station with such setup. There are rumours among metrophiles that gates would be set up when the AsiaWorldExpo station is opened. — Instantnood 06:30, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Thats not true. At Hong Kong Station, there are gates that separate paid/unpaid areas of the station. Except that these gates resemble KCR gates-wide flaps that fold towards the sides to open.-Herenthere 22:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wording
- Except the "Morning Express Service", passengers using the line can only travel between Airport or AsiaWorld-Expo stations and other any stations of the line.
Can't this sentence be better phrased? It's not exactly clear what the author meant. - Hinto 03:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is this still true?
The article says:
- Unlike all other MTR lines, the Airport Express is not primarily a commuter line.
That was certainly true until recently. But since the merger of MTR and KCRC, is it still true. After all the KCRC's trains to Guangzhou were hardly commuter trains. But I guess this really comes down to the way the names stabilise in use; do people start referring to trains to Guangzhou and beyond as MTR trains?. That needs a local resident to answer, and I'm no longer such. -- Chris j wood (talk) 14:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is it necessary?
is one of the lines of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) serving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
The whole name of Hong Kong?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by X2X00 (talk • contribs) 05:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
