The station was designed by TFP Farrells. During the planning stage, it was called West Kowloon station (). On 16 September 2000, the new shopping mall "Dickson CyberExpress" () was opened by Dickson Poon. The size was  spread over four levels of the station with six shopping areas. However, the mall did not have the expected volume of customers and business was weak. After half a year, the mall shrank in size. The mall's management company planned to decrease the level of the mall from 4 levels to 3 levels and to combine some of the shopping areas. Business remained poor due to sparse population near the station and a recession at that time. The mall finally closed its operation in 2005. The station was proposed as the terminus of the unbuilt East Kowloon line; the proposal indicated using a reserved confined space under the Tung Chung line platforms. The station is connected via footbridges to  on the Tuen Ma line. The station is connected to West Kowloon Terminus of the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link Hong Kong section.
