It was started in 2005 by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation and is now equipped on every train compartment running on East Rail Line, West Rail Line and Ma On Shan Line. Metro Cammell trains of East Rail Line are equipped with wider LCD TVs (22 inch), while the rest on SP1900 is smaller (15 inch).

Criticism

Newsline Express on an East Rail Line SP1900

The TVs for Newsline Express are sometimes criticized for being too noisy that their broadcasts can even be heard in the quiet car of the train.[3]

To cater passengers' need, quiet zones, in which only train operational announcements are made (without Newsline Express soundtrack), are available on each train. The quiet zones are located on the 4th compartment on West Rail Line trains, the 3rd (southbound) or 2nd (northbound) compartment on Ma On Shan Line trains, and the 4th and 11th (southbound) or 2nd and 9th (northbound) on East Rail Line trains.
