The station was designed by TFP Farrells.[1] During the planning stage, it was called West Kowloon station (西九龍站).
On 16 September 2000, the new shopping mall "Dickson CyberExpress" (迪生數碼世界) was opened by Dickson Poon. The size was 70,000 square feet (6,500 m2) spread over four levels of the station with six shopping areas.[2] 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.[3] Business remained poor due to sparse population near the station and a recession at that time. The mall finally closed its operation in 2005.[4]
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.[5]
As in other Airport Express stations, the Airport Express and the Tung Chung line have separated paid areas. Platform 2 is only used for disembarking passengers from Hong Kong International Airport or AsiaWorld–Expo, except during morning rush hours from Monday to Saturday for boarding passengers traveling on the line to Hong Kong station with a Morning Express Ticket.[6]
