Austin Stn and Kowloon Stn is essentially like Vancouver City Centre Stn with Granville Stn in terms of geographical location, except Austin and Kowloon are directly connected via bridge. Give this one a little more time to develop. And not half of them is deserted... Austin is really the only new stn.

I don't want to go to specifics on each station of the HK West Rail. A number of other West Rail stations does seem deserted by HK standard (though my last trip to HK was 2006). I checked that its per day ridership exceeded 200,000 in 2007, though its capacity is said to be 100,000 passenger per hour! Now connected with TST, it probably added up tens of thousands more but likely still below 300,000.
