Quarry Bay is an underground station on the MTR HK-MTR lines|Island on Hong Kong Island and HK-MTR lines|Tseung Kwan O between Hong Kong Island and Tseung Kwan O New Town in the New Territories, Hong Kong. The livery is teal green.

The station was expanded in 1989 with the addition of Platforms 3 and 4, which served as the terminus of HK-MTR lines|Kwun Tong until 2002. The line was then extended to North Point in August 18 of the same year. These two platforms are now a part of the HK-MTR lines|Tseung Kwan O.

The station is noted for having the deepest platforms in the MTR network, with a maximum depth of 37m below ground level, to allow the tunnel to traverse Victoria Harbour. The station's concourses, however, are at ground level and open directly onto the street. As a result, four sets of escalators and many long passageways are necessary to connect the concourses to the deepest platforms.

tation layout

Since platforms 3 and 4 were built some time after platforms 1 and 2, no cross-platform interchanges are available in Quarry Bay station. Commuters interchanging between the two lines have to walk through a long passageway for about 5 minutes to reach the platforms of the other line.

This inconvenience and increasing passenger numbers were what prompted the MTRC to undergo the Quarry Bay Congestion Relief Works, which extended the HK-MTR lines|Kwun Tong one station to the west to North Point Station, where cross-platform interchanges are provided.

The platform numbers of platforms 3 and 4 were switched when the Tseung Kwan O Line came into service.

Platforms 1 and 2 are built beneath King's Road to Pak Fuk Road. Platforms 3 and 4 are built beneath King's Road to the south of Model Housing Estate.
