History

The stop was opened to the public on 18 September 1988, as Ferry Pier (屯門碼頭). On the previous day, the Light Rail Transit system was declared open by Anne, Princess Royal, at this stop; the commemorative plaque she unveiled still remains intact.^[1] The stop was renamed Ferry Pier Terminus (屯門碼頭總站) later.

On 13 June 2010, the terminus was renamed Tuen Mun Ferry Pier (屯門碼頭).

Hazard to pedestrians

Because of the planning of this Light Rail stop, the pathways for pedestrians are very close to the rails; it is dangerous for a pedestrian to cross from one platform to another when a train is approaching. However, some pedestrian crossing signal lights that light up when trains approach were added.
