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:
“The final test of a novel will be our affection for it, as it is the test of our friends, and of anything else which we cannot define.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Television programming for children need not be saccharine or insipid in order to give to violence its proper balance in the scheme of things.... But as an endless diet for the sake of excitement and sensation in stories whose plots are vehicles for killing and torture and little more, it is not healthy for young children. Unfamiliar as yet with the full story of human response, they are being misled when they are offered perversion before they have fully learned what is sound.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
