The MTR Corporation halted services at Admiralty Station for several minutes on Wednesday morning, as tens of thousands of demonstrators took over key streets in Admiralty in another mass demonstration against the government’s unpopular bid to amend Hong Kong’s extradition law.

The railway firm announced just past 9am that – at the request of police – trains on the Island, Tsuen Wan and South Island lines would not stop at Admiralty Station.

However, just minutes later, the MTR suddenly reversed the decision and said full services would resume at Admiralty Station.
