West Island Line(Hong Kong MTR) tracklaying complete

It's important for us to know the exact date of completion of West Island Line. That's because I am going to begin working at a company from the next April, and it is expected to prevent me from going on a trip. If the extension is to be completed after April, 2014, I will have no chance to board trains on the line, much less South Island Line to form a circle rail network in Hong Kong Island.

If you are European or American people, you may ask me "Why don't you go there during summer vacation?"
To our disappointment, usual Japanese companies allow us to have less than a week of consecutive holidays in summer. In addition to it, a lot of people during the holidays go on trips, air fares must be high prices.
In this situation, I won't feel like travelling.
