TTR1. Hong Kong is the first in a series rail based travel guides to cities or regions. Each programme tells a little of the story of the area or country visited, highlights features of particular interest but concentrates on helping potential visitors get around, where posible using public transport. In Hong Kong we cover: getting from the airport to the "down town area" using the new Airport Express, navigate our way through the mainly British built MTR (Mass Transit Railway), travel by double deck tramcar through the streets of Hong Kong Island, explore the New Territories using the KCR (Kowloon Canton Railway), sail on a world famous ferry -the Star Ferry, enjoy the views from The Peak, courtesy of the Peak Tramway and view the famous harbour. We also watch, -in amazement?- the activities at the KCR freight terminal at Hung Hom, and finally we travel into the Peoples Republic to visit Guangdong (Canton) on the ktt "InterCity" through train. Future developments are not ignored. Ticket to Ride looks at the future of rail transport both in the former colony and at the links that are being forged with China Rail. Narrated RT 40 mins
