Light Rail Depot Stop (Chinese: 輕鐵車廠站) is a MTR Light Rail stop. It is located at ground level at the junction of Lung Mun Road (Chinese: 龍門路) and Tuen Tsing Lane (Chinese: 屯青里), near Tuen Mun Depot (Chinese: 屯門車廠) and Sun Tuen Mun Centre (Chinese: 新屯門中心) in Tuen Mun District.

History

This stop was originally named "Pak Kok Stop" (Chinese: 白角站) as it was located at a point called Pak Kok (Chinese: 白角) before Butterfly Bay (Chinese: 蝴蝶灣) was reclaimed. It was then renamed to "LRT Depot Stop" in 1989 (LRT was the abbreviation of Light Rail Transit, the name for the Light Rail system until the early 1990s[1]). On 13 June 2010, the stop was renamed Light Rail Depot Stop, while the Chinese name remained unchanged.
