Train in a New Dress





Yesterday, August 23rd, 2007, when I stepped on the platform of East Rail trains heading for Sheung Shui, I was attracted by the beautiful decorations on the train which stopped at the opposite platform.

I stopped gazing at the train, quickly took out my digital camera and was able to take several photos before it started off for its next station.

Before this, I learned from TV that the KCRC company invited students of some secondary schools to take part in designing pictures for the outer walls as well as the internal walls and benches of the carriages of one of its trains.

I like this idea of adding elements of colour, creativity and life to those cold metallic carriages. They are really beautiful to be seen running on the rail all day long. I predict that if this kind of train decoration is well-accepted by the people of Hong Kong, more trains in other new dresses will appear in the future. Why not turn a train into one with pictures that brings out the spirits of the Olympic Games!
