民建聯？梗係早收三日風，爭取扮成功啦！
題外話：原來下禾輋喺1967年有站架！不過睇地圖應該係今日嘅禾輋邨，而唔係下禾輋村呢！
【西港島綫通車倒數 Countdown to WIL】
一日－地鐵西延 回想當年
1 Days - Reviewing the History of West Island Line (English version below)
既然民建聯與大家談歷史，說自己爭取地鐵「西移」已經二十年，那我們不如回顧一下地鐵西延計劃的肇始。
四十七年前的 1967 年 9 月，當民建聯先輩口中的「反英抗暴」還在進行得如火如荼之際，倫敦的費爾文霍士施偉拔顧問公司正準備將《香港集體運輸研究》（MTS-1967）報告呈交香港工務司。
MTS-1967 是歷史上首份提倡在香港興建地下鐵路集體運輸的報告，當中提議的港島綫西端總站正是設於堅尼地城。該報告建議港島綫在西區沿域多利道、卑路乍街及皇后大道西而行，設堅尼地（Kennedy，近堅尼地城巴士總站）、卑路乍（Belcher，在卑路乍街近山市街、李寶龍路一帶）及西營盤（Sai Ying Pun，在介乎西邊街及正街一段皇后大道西）。值得一提的是，當年的規劃是將堅尼地站建構成海陸交通中轉站，設渡輪前往澳門與青山，猶如將港澳碼頭西移。
我們姑且相信禮義廉党的確爭取地鐵「西移」二十年，但西區居民期盼地鐵西延，肯定是該党的兩倍有多 — 順帶一提，當年暫時擱置興建西港島綫，也是出於部份建制派議員的「功勞」。
DAB claims that they have be fighting for a Western District MTR Extension for 20 years. But history tells us that the first ever proposal of such extension was first put forward 47 years ago.
Back in September 1967, while the leftists (that established DAB some years later) were still engaging themselves in the riots, the London-based Freeman, Fox, Wilbur Smith and Associates consultancy firm completed the final report of the Hong Kong Mass Transport Study (MTS-1967), which was commissioned by the Public Works Department of Hong Kong a few years ago. The report carries the first ever suggestion of building a Mass Transit Railway network in Hong Kong.
The Island Line railway proposed in MTS-1967 call for the construction of 3 rapid transit stations in Western District - Kennedy (near the current Kennedy Town Bus Terminus), Belcher (Belcher's St near Sands St) and Sai Ying Pun (Queen's Rd W near Western St and Centre St), and the tracks generally follow the alignment of Victoria Road, Belcher's St and Queen's Rd W. One point worth noting is that the report suggests the construction of a new pier at Kennedy Town for ferries to Macau and Castle Peak (now Tuen Mun), effectively moving the marine transport hub westward from Sheung Wan.
DAB's claim may be true, but hey, 20 years does not even constitute a half of 47.
