Po Lam is a Hong Kong MTR station located in Po Lam. It is the northern terminus for the HK-MTR lines|Tseung Kwan O. It proceeds to Hang Hau station. Although the station is at ground level, it is covered, though not completely sealed, from the outside.

Po Lam station's main entrance is on Mau Yip Road, where five pedestrian footbridges link the station to a public transport interchange for ground transport. It is possible to access directly Metro City and The Pinnacle from the concourse of the station. Another footbridge crosses Po Fung Road and allows residents of Po Lam Estate, Ying Ming Court and Well On Garden direct access to the station.

tation layout

Unlike most MTR stations, the concourse, gates and platform are at the same level, and there is only one platform from which trains depart in the same direction as they arrived. This necessitates the halting of trains from Hang Hau midway between the stations while a train currently at the station departs. At the same time, any trains arriving at Po Lam will only stay for a much shorter time before departing when compared to other MTR terminals.

The original design of the station was to have two tracks sharing an island platform, and a concourse above the platforms. However, the MTRC, on the advice of the contractors, decided on the current layout, with the concourse replacing what was going to be the second track and part of the island platform, after realizing that the Tseung Kwan O Line is unlikely to be extended past Po Lam, and to save construction cost.

So passengers could exit/enter the station from/to Platform 1 in less than one minute.
