INTRODUCTION

　　　The British Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway consists of a single line with six passing points and runs from Kowloon Station in Tsim Sha Tsui to Lo Wu on the Chinese border. It is 36 kilometres (22 miles) long and has a

standard gauge of 1,435 mm. (4 feet 8 inches).

　　　　　The daily traffic normally consists of 18 passenger trains each way, including a special train to and from University Station, and a maximum of eight freight trains. At weekends and public holidays additional passenger

There has been no through trains are run to cope with the increased demand. public passenger trains between Kowloon and Canton since 1949 and people Mail and travelling to and from China must change trains at the border. freight wagons travel across the border without transhipment. It takes about an hour to complete a journey by train between the two terminals in the British territory, including stops at seven intermediate stations.

GENERAL SURVEY

　　　　　The year 1974/75 was another year in which new records were set regarding goods and passenger traffic. The following table gives an account.:

4. All freight tonnage referred to in this Report représents chargeable weight in metric tons. The passenger figures are based on the number of tickets sold at stations and in trains. As children three years old or under are carried free of charge, the actual number of people using the trains was greater.

　　　　　　Imports from China amounted to 1,165,975 tons, representing 99.8% of the total freight traffic. This is less than the previous year's figure by 77,327 tons. Export tonnage was 778 tons, compared with 2,931 last year.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The set-back was Freight carried within the Territory amounted to 539 tons. mainly due to the economic recession but there was an increase in the pro- portion of higher rated traffic.

　　6. The number of passengers who travelled within the Territory was 12,255,513, an increase of 4.54% on the previous year's figure. In the same period 1,645,820 persons travelled to and from China. This compared with 1,511,453 the previous year.

　　7. The financial position was strengthened with profits increasing from HK$2.1m. to HK$5.6m. while fixed assets increased from HK$20.1m. to HK$39.1m. due to the introduction into service of new coaches. Accumulated funds, without interest, rose from HK$39.8m. to HK$45.4m. The introduction of increased passenger fares during the year and agreement to increase freight charges in the next year re-inforce the position.

8. Forty new carriages were put into service on 4th November, 1974. Of these, twenty eight were replacements for old rolling stock and twelve were used to lengthen existing trains so as to provide an average of 13 coaches on each train. Despite the introduction of additional carriages restrictions imposed by the single track continued to handicap the handling of the increas- ing number of passengers, especially during daily and seasonal peak periods. It is hoped that the situation will be improved when double tracking of the railway line between Hung Hom and Sha Tin is completed in 1977.

　　9. Meanwhile, construction of the new terminus at Hung Hom which will replace the existing terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui was reaching the final stages. It will provide more modern facilities for passengers as well as for freight traffic.

　　10. Extensive training was given to railway staff and liaison maintained with China Travel Service (H.K.) Ltd. staff to familiarize them with the operation of the new terminus. Close relationships with the Public Works Department were continued to ensure that the facilities provided in the new terminus met railway requirements.

11.

　　　　　Agreement was reached with the Colonial Secretariat for retention of part of the existing main line to become the Ho Man Tin Sidings as an exten- sion of the Hung Hom Terminal when the terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui is closed.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　と 12. Planning: In conjunction with the double tracking project other improve- ments proposed include remodelling of Mong Kok and Sha Tin Stations, a second tunnel through Beacon Hill and construction of a loop line near Ho Tung Lau Railway Workshops to service the proposed new race course at Shatin. Construct- ion of a freight yard at Fotan to service facilities being built by the China Resources Company will begin in 1975. Consideration was given during the year to the following projects:

(a) Extension of double tracking from Sha Tin to Lo Wu;

(b) Building a marshalling yard at Lo Wu;

(c)

(a)

Additional rolling stock for passenger and goods traffic;

Construction of new lines from Shatin to Kwai Chung and Tai Po to Shuen Wan;

(e) Electrification;

(f) Air-conditioning of Coaches;

(g) Improvements to Lowu Station.

13. The projects referred to form part of an investment plan over the next ten years costing $557.65m. which defines the future objectives of the Railway. The plan enables Government to appreciate the direction in which the Railway would like to progress. The proposed investment plan can be found at Appendix VII.

14.. In conjunction with the plan reports have been prepared on passenger, freight and personnel strategy. The investment plan and these reports form the nucleus of a corporate plan for the Kowloon-Canton Railway.

　　　15. To assist forward planning, the Railway took part in discussions on the Comprehensive Transport Study for Hong Kong in which ideas were exchanged with a view to preparing plans for future transport requirements. The electri- fication of the Kowloon-Canton Railway was also mentioned in the green paper on transport published by the Hong Kong Government during the year.

16. Public Relations : More emphasis was paid to public relations. All public comments in the press and letters were dealt with and action taken where improvements suggested were practicable. Questionnaires were used to improve communications with the public and obtain their views on new measures which the Railway was considering adopting. Station public address systems were used increasingly to advise passingers of train information.

　　　17. To improve internal administration, management information systems were developed to produce a regular flow of data regarding train load factors, punctuality, rolling stock utilization and equipment failures to enable management to take action more quickly. Quarterly financial forecasts were introduced with regular monitoring to improve financial control.

18.

　　　　　　　Torrential rainstorms caused by typhoon Carmen, which came close to Hong Kong on 19th October, 1974, caused damage to Railway property but, railway services were only slightly interrupted.

TRAFFIC

19.

Traffic earnings increased by $6,692,376.00 (30.42%) in comparison with the previous year.

Recent trends are shown below :-

1971/72 $18,144,609

1972/73 $20,558,310

1973/74

$21,996,433

1974/75 $28,688,809

20.

　　　　　　Passenger traffic Local passenger journeys increased by 4.54% and international journeys by 8.89%. The latter was caused by the growing attraction of China as a business and tourist centre and the increasing volume of Hong Kong residents visiting families.

21. On Ching Ming Festival Day, 5th April, 1974 and Chung Yeung Festival Day, 23rd October, 1974, 27 and 25 extra trains were operated respectively, in addition to the normal daily service of 36, to facilitate visits to the cemeteries at Wo Hop Shek and Sandy Ridge; 154,296 passengers were carried on the two days.

22. On Dragon Boat Festival Day, 24th June, 1974, 22 special trains were added to the normal daily service to transport spectators who went to the dragon boat races held in Tai Po (Yuen Chow Tsai). 33,947 passengers were carried. Mr. Denys Roberts, the Acting Governor, who attended the races was conveyed on a special coach to the level crossing at Tai Po Kau. It was the first time that a special coach was used at the rear of a scheduled train.

23.

On 16th February, 1975, i.e. the sixth day in the First Moon of the lunar calender, which was the peak of railway travel during the Chinese New Year period, 77,914 passengers were conveyed to all stations.

24. A Tolo Harbour/Rail Tour was introduced on 2nd January, 1975. The Tour, which was a joint venture with the Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Co. Ltd. operates daily except Sundays and public holidays and was the first example of this type of co-operation. It was intended to appeal to both local residents and tourists.

25. Starting from November 4th, 1974, a seat reservation system was intro- duced for first class passengers to enable them to reserve their seats one day in advance. The period was extended to seven days on February 25th, 1975. There is no extra charge.

26. Fares and Rates Increasing operating costs, against an inability to expand capacity, necessitated an increase in fares. With effect from 4th November, 1974 passenger fares were increased the first time since 1947, by an average of 35%. Season (three monthly)

Season (three monthly) tickets were abolished. Con- currently, the second and third class were amalgamated to form an Ordinary Class.

27.

The fares increase was based on a tapered scale so that passengers travelling a shorter distance had a greater rate of increase than those travelling further. It was intended to encourage people to take longer journeys by rail.

28.

　　　　　　The discount on monthly tickets was reduced as compared with previous years by being based on 40 instead of 30 journeys per month, thus causing an average increase of 33.33% compared with the previous fare.

29. The class indication on the outside of coaches was changed so that ordinary class coaches now have no indication of class. The only external class indication is for first class coaches. The Chinese characters of class definition were eliminated and, in addition to the roman numeral "one", a yellow band immediately under the roof line was introduced on all first class coaches, in line with international practice.

30. From 2nd July to 30th August, 1974, (except Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays) special half-fare student tickets were issued for train journeys between Kowloon Terminal and Mong Kok to new Territories Stations. Altogether 13,006 such tickets were sold compared with 9,260 in the previous The increase was attributed to the exceptionally fine weather.

year.

31.

Freight Traffic Freight traffic dropped slightly during the early part of the year due to the economic recession but the upward trend resumed later, An analysis of freight traffic is shown on Appendix VIII. There was an increase in freight revenue arising largely from an increase in mail charges. Comparative figures are as follows :-

All traffic was suspended on 19th October, 1974 until 15.00 hours when typhoon Carmen came close to Hong Kong. The service was again suspended after 20.30 hours due to a landslide. Normal services resumed the next day.

ACCOUNTS

45.

　　　　　　Operating expenditure increased by 17.97% from $18,563,161 to $21,899,558 due to the continuing escalation in the cost of materials and higher salaries. Despite the increase in operating expenditure the gross operating profit improved from $3,572,713 to $6,979,957 whilst the net profit was $5,595,138 compared with $2,104,978 in the previous year. Accumulated Funds, excluding interest, rose to $45,388,683 at the end of the year. percentage of net profit to gross revenue was 18.2 compared with 9 in the previous year.

The

46. The increase was attributable to the increase in passenger journeys resulting from the acquisition of additional rolling stock and natural growth, the operation of trains bringing oil from China, the introduction of higher passenger fares and the adoption of a commercial basis for calculating the subsidy on students' tickets. The increase also reflects a change in the system of computing the notional charges for mail conveyed to and from China and the imposition of a notional rent for godowns in respect of the General Post Office, both of which reflect the commercial value of the space utilized

47. New passenger fares, ranging from 40 cents to $3.80 for single journeys were approximately 35% higher than the old ones which had remained unchanged since 1947. The age limit for determining students fares was reduced from 18 years to 12 years for half-fares and from 21 years to 18 years for full- fares. Conveyance of mail was charged on the basis of capacity used instead of as previously on actual weight conveyed.

48.

The accounts only reflect the impact of the new fare structure and the acquisition of rolling stock from the time of their introduction and do not represent the full impact of the new fares nor the full earning potential of the additional rolling stock.

49.

Additions to assets totalled $20,772,636 and include a diesel electric locomotive (delivered in March, 1974), 40 railway passenger coaches, power operated barriers at level crossings, treadle bells, to give an advance warning of the approach of a train, and a motor vehicle.

　　　　　　The Accounts and supporting data are published in Appendices I to VI of this Report.

MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

50. All locomotives, rolling stock, electrical and mechanical equipment, machinery and plant were maintained to a good standard during the year. Forty new Japanese coaches, comprising 11 first class and 29 ordinary class carriages, manufactured by the Kinki Sharyo Co. Ltd. of Japan were delivered to Hong Kong on 1st of August and 14th of September. They were put into service on 4th November, 1974 after modifications to overcome minor technical deficiencies.

　　51. Locomotives: The availability factor of the diesel locomotives was 88.93% compared with 89.93% the previous year. The comparatively lower availability was due to a greater incidence of major locomotive overhauls during the past year. Maintenance cost rose from $1.037 per km. in the previ- ous year to $1.223 per km. The increase was a result of the increased cost of labour and spare parts due to inflation.

52. Carriages :

　　　　　　　　　　　　Availability was 88.74% compared with 84.7% in the previous year and the maintenance cost per passenger coach kilometre was $0.416 compared with $0.365 in 1973/74. The higher maintenance cost was mainly a result of domestic and international inflation.

53. Plant & Equipment : Additional electric lights were installed at Lo Wu Immigration Departure Hall to improve lighting conditions.

　　54. Work done for other Government Departments included the manufacture of hot water cylinders, night deposit safes and various iron castings.

55. The average consumption of diesel oil was 3.40 kg per engine km. which is the same as in the previous year. The total average cost of maintenance and oil consumption per locomotive kilometre was $3.33 compared with $1.88 in the previous year. Statistical statements relating to the analysis of train and locomotive running, fuel oil expenses, consumption of lubricants and the cost of repairs to locomotives, carriages and wagons will be found in Appendices X to XIII, while the classification of rolling stock is shown in Appendices XIV to XVII.

56.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Mechanisation of track maintenance to provide economies and cope with the anticipated expansion of railway activities was under active consideration to enable plans to be submitted to Colonial Secretariat for approval. The introduction of 13 coaches for each passenger train imposed additional burdens on track maintenance staff.

LIB

57.

The following major works were carried out during the year :-

58.

Signalling. All signal arms, signal posts and point indicators were repainted. The colour of distant signals was changed to yellow in place of red in view of its cautionary instead of stop implications.

Tunnels. All tunnels were inspected and maintained in good order. Eight plastic ceiling sheets each 2 ft. wide were reconstructed inside Tunnel No. 2 as a consequence of a suspected out of gauge wagon com- ponent making contact and dislodging them.

Correspondence was exchanged with the Chinese Section and agreement reached for a joint examination of bridge No. 38 over the Shum Chun River at the border. This subsequently led to a further agreement for joint activities to ensure that the bridge, which joins the two sections, receives adequate repair in future.

59. Plan were in hand to replace the existing manually operated barriers at six level crossings by power operated barriers to improve the safety for gate keepers.

60. New Works and Improvements.

(a) The former army post at Lo Wu station was altered into a

departure hall for the Immigration Department. A concrete pavement measuring approximately 450 sq. ft. was constructed for use as a passenger luggage collection area. This was part of a larger scale project to improve the station.

(b) A waiting shelter measuring 25 ft. x 12 ft. was constructed at

Bridge No. 16 for workshop staff working at Ho Tung Lau

Workshops.

Siding, Sha Tin to provide facilities for the China Resources Company for the reception of oil and dry goods. It is expected that work would be completed in 1976.

61. As the result of typhoons & rainstorms during the year, the following work was carried out

62.

(a) Removal of earth caused by minor landslides at Mong Kok, Tai Po

Market and Fanling stations and resurfacing of the cutting slopes.

(b) Approximately 4,700 sq. yds. of sea wall pointing was repaired

between Mile 10 and Mile 12.

(c) The open channels and culverts from University Station to Tai Po Kau Station were cleared. Trees, bushes etc. dislodged by

typhoons were removed.

(d) Minor damage to station officers, staff quarters etc. was repaired.

65. Music and advertisements were broadcast over the public address system at Tsim Sha Tsui Terminus from 1st October, 1974. Apart from an annual income from this source the Railway was provided with improved equipment for the

　　public address system and the stay of passengers at the station awaiting trains was made more congenial.

PERSONNEL

매

66. Mr. R. E. Gregory took up the position of General Manager, Railway on 18th April, 1974 upon Mr. LAM Po-hon, the ex-General Manager's retirement.

67.

This was an increase of 62 over the previous year.

Thirty-six officers retired after service on the Railway.

68.

Industrial Relations : Improved relationships were established between management and the two railway trades union, the Railway Workers Union and Railway Traffic Officers Association. Regular meetings were held to resolve grievances and clarify mis-understandings. It had previously been the practice for workers to approach the Colonial Secretariat without consulting railway management.

69. Mr. R. E. Gregory visited the Chinese Section of the Railway at Guangzhou on 21st December, 1974, the first visit by a General Manager since 21st October, 1949. His visit lasted four days. During his absence, Mr. WONG U-lam, Railway Workshops Engineer, acting Assistant General Manager, acted as General Manager.

NOTES TO THE OPERATING AND PROFIT & LOSS

ACCOUNTS

Passenger revenue includes actual income and notional revenue arising from the reduction of students half-fare and full fare age limits from 18 years to 12 years and from 21 years to 18 years respectively and, the introduction of new fares on 4th November, 1974.

A revised basis of charging by the capacity utilised instead of the actual weight of items carried was introduced at the beginning of the year for calculating notional revenue on the carriage of mails.

Rental Receipts include notional rents of $386,331 for spaces used by the G.P.O. and G.I.S. to reflect market values.

Depreciation on 40 new coaches introduced into the service on 4th November, 1974 has been provided for the period 4th November, 1974 to 31st March,
