Design Features
The West Island Line (WIL) is an underground railway which adopts the idea of a Community Railway. It will run across the densely populated areas of the Western District. Over 90% of the residents can conveniently access the railway on foot.
Convenient Pedestrian Network Connecting Uphill and Downhill Areas
The layout of station entrances will provide a convenient pedestrian network for both MTR passengers and the public to access destinations in the Mid-Levels area as well as the areas along Queen's Road West through the unpaid areas of the stations.

High-speed Lifts
For some of the deep stations, high-speed lifts are considered to be more effective than escalators to overcome the marked level difference between the station concourse and the street.
Layout of Stations, Entrances and Ventilation Shafts
The locations of the three stations and the 14 entrances of WIL are shown below:
