HistoryEdit
On 1 October 1910, the Kowloon-Canton Railway British Section opened to the public, but Sheung Shui station was not added until 16 May 1930. Full electrification of KCR completed on 15 July 1983.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Lok Ma Chau Spur Line was added on 15 August 2007.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In anticipation of an increase in patronage expected to accompany the commissioning of the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, a new southern concourse was opened at Sheung Shui station in January 2006.<ref name="kcrannualreport2006">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

LayoutEdit
Markers were provided on the northbound platform following the opening of Lok Ma Chau station. Two queues, blue and green, are set up at the boarding areas. The blue queues are for passengers travelling to Template:STN, while the green queues are for those travelling to Lok Ma Chau. Platform 1 is the termination platform of northbound trains after Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau boundary crossings have closed for the day, and so platform 2 (southbound platform) is the only platform for boarding.
