Its livery is gold. This station serves as the northern terminus of the East Rail line after the Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau boundary crossings have closed for the day. It is also the last northbound station on the East Rail line that passengers without a [[Closed Road Permit|Closed Area Permit]], Mainland Travel Permit, or valid passport and mainland Chinese visa may freely travel to.

This station is located in the [[North District, Hong Kong|North District]], [[New Territories]], Hong Kong, serving the [[Sheung Shui]] area and its vicinity.

==History== 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>{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/short-reads/article/3094368/how-hong-kongs-first-electrified-rail-service|title=How Hong Kong's first electrified rail service, the KCR, arrived – late|author=Mercedes Hutton|date=23 July 2020|newspaper=South China Morning Post|access-date=25 June 2021}}</ref> Lok Ma Chau Spur Line was added on 15 August 2007.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.scmp.com/article/604270/kcrc-unsure-new-lines-draw|title=KCRC unsure of new line's draw|author=Anita Lam|date=15 August 2007|newspaper=South China Morning Post|access-date=25 June 2021}}</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">{{cite web |title=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Annual Report 2006 |url=https://www.kcrc.com/download/en/corporate-and-financial-information/annual-reports/annual-report-2006.pdf |publisher=Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation}}</ref> <gallery> KCR Sheung Shui Station lobby.jpg|Former Sheung Shui station concourse, before refurbishment of Lok Ma Chau extension project (August 2006) Sheung Shui Station Platform 1 New.jpg|The extension of platform 2 with former KCR branded signage (April 2008) SheungShuiStation Outside.jpg|Exterior of the KCR Sheung Shui station (May 2007) Sheung Shui Station 2014 04.JPG|Platform 2 of Sheung Shui station (April 2014) </gallery>

== Layout == 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 {{STN|Lo Wu|x}}, 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.
