Submitted by Bob Bunker on Wed, 09/10/2025 - 15:38 Who was the MTR opened by? MTR website just says Murray Maclehose, but I do seem to remember pictures of I think HM the late Queen riding in the cab..? Can anyone confirm..? Log in or register to post comments The Queen visited HK in 1975… The Queen visited HK in 1975 and 1986. Neither match the opening of the MTR in 1979. Her 1975 visit included a visit to Hung Hom railway station. Could that be the scene you remember?
