Final Scheme
On 25 February 2005, the Panel of Transport of Legislative Council had a meeting discussing West and South Island Line. MTR has submitted a revised scheme on 22 February and an introduction to the scheme was conducted in the meeting.
- Alignment and stations
In the scheme, West Island Line included only the extension to Island Line. The rest became the west section of South Island Line. The new West Island Line would run from Sheung Wan to Kennedy Town:
- Sheung Wan
- Sai Ying Pun
- University (Interchange to South Island Line (W))
- Kennedy Town
The scheme was gazetted in October 2007 and given final authorization in March 2009. Construction of the 3-kilometre extension started on August 10, 2009, for completion in 2014. The cost of the line is estimated to be HK$15.4 billion.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or scheme:
“Her wrongs are ... indissolubly linked with all undefended woe, all helpless suffering, and the plenitude of her “rights” will mean the final triumph of all right over might, the supremacy of the moral forces of reason and justice and love in the government of the nation. God hasten the day.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“In the scheme of our national government, the presidency is preeminently the people’s office.”
—Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
