Inter-city railway services crossing the Hong Kong-China border (often known as ''through trains'') are jointly operated by Hong Kong's [[MTR Corporation|MTR Corporation Limited]] and the [[Ministry of Railways (China)|Ministry of Railways of the People's Republic of China]]. Currently, [[Hung Hom station]] is the only station in the territory where passengers can catch these cross-border trains. Passengers are required to go through immigration and customs inspections of Hong Kong before boarding a cross-border train or alighting from such a train. There are currently three cross-border train services on the conventional line:
* Between Hong Kong and [[Beijing]] ([[Beijing–Kowloon through train]])
* Between Hong Kong and [[Shanghai]] ([[Shanghai–Kowloon through train]])
* Between Hong Kong and [[Guangzhou]] ([[Guangzhou–Kowloon through train]])

A new border-crossing service, the [[Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link]], has been approved and has been granted HKD 6.6 billion in funding by the Legislative Council's Finance Committee. The line has been opened in 2018 with a new station [[Hong Kong West Kowloon railway station|West Kowloon Terminus]] in the city centre.
