Despite its name, the station is technically not located within Ho Man Tin and is more than 1 km away from the central part of Ho Man Tin between Argyle Street and Waterloo Road. The station is nearer to central part of Hung Hom while Hung Hom station is located at reclaimed area of Hung Hom Bay.

History

Ho Man Tin station was constructed under the HK$2.97 billion Kwun Tong Line Extension Contract 1001, which was awarded in 2011 to Nishimatsu Construction. This contract covered not only the station, but also the railway tunnels between Yau Ma Tei and Whampoa Station, including a ventilation building halfway between Yau Ma Tei and Ho Man Tin.

The new 58000 sqm, eight-level railway station, cruciform in plan, was built on the site of the Valley Road Estate, which had been demolished a decade earlier. Built into a hillside, the station is partly underground and partly above-ground. The underground levels were excavated through the drill-and-blast method.

The Kwun Tong line platforms of Ho Man Tin station opened on 23 October 2016. The Tuen Ma line platforms opened on 27 June 2021.

Station layout

The station is located between Chung Hau Street and Chatham Road North. While the Tuen Ma line platforms were boarded up, they were used as a passageway between the concourse and the Kwun Tong line platforms.

During peak periods, some westbound Kwun Tong line trains terminate at platform 2 and commence at platform 1 past the scissors crossover to a reversing siding. The remaining trains continue to Whampoa, the next station eastbound as well as the line's western terminus. This arrangement exists due to the limited capacity of the single terminating track at Whampoa, which cannot turnaround all Kwun Tong line trains during peak periods.
