Racecourse station originally opened along with the eponymous racecourse on 7 October 1978. The current Racecourse station opened on 1 October 1985, in time to serve a new grandstand at the racecourse. A renovation of the station was completed in 1996. Station layout
Racecourse has one island platform. Unlike at other MTR stations, trains can arrive at either platform regardless of direction, so passengers need to follow directions of MTR staff and the electronic displays for the direction of trains. Both directions usually have a headway of 10–15 minutes. The station does not have escalators or lifts. Wheelchair users can only use a stair lift to access the station after calling a member of staff for assistance. Entrances/Exits
