History
The station was built by the Leighton Contractors–John Holland Joint Venture under a contract numbered 904, awarded May 2011, which also included South Horizons station and sections of running tunnel.[2] It was constructed using the drill-and-blast method.[3]
Lei Tung station was opened on 28 December 2016, with the rest of the South Island line.[1]

The station is underground with two tracks and an island platform.[4] North of the station, the line rises onto Aberdeen Channel Bridge, a railway bridge designed by Atkins Global that spans the Aberdeen Channel.[5]
Artworks in the station are Dawn of a New Day and Journeys Along the South Island Line (East) by local children under the respective leadership of Castally Leung Ching-man and Sum Sum Tse. The art is located in the passageway to exit A, as well as the concourse and lift cars of exit B.[4][6]
Entrances/exits
Lei Tung station has three exits. The exit to Lei Tung Estate Bus Terminal is connected to the concourse by lifts instead of escalators, due to the 40 m (130 ft) depth of the platforms. Passage from exit A to exit B does not require entering the paid area.[4]
