After undergoing a restructuring that changed the shape of its business, Jarvis still can't get its operations on track. The company provides support and maintenance services to clients in the railway, manufacturing, and other sectors. As part of its financial restructuring after misfortunes and debt nearly derailed Jarvis, it sold or closed several subsidiaries to focus on core businesses. Subsidiaries include Jarvis Rail (rail renewal, track development, signaling), Fastline (on-track machinery and plant equipment), and Fastline Freight (bulk freight hauling). After failing to secure sufficient working capital from lenders, in March 2010 Jarvis announced it would enter administration.

The trains of Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) are being driven by a new engineer. In December 2007 the government of Hong Kong, which owns KCRC, combined the company's rail operations with those of commuter rail operator MTR, which also is controlled by the government. Before its operations were merged with MTR's, KCRC provided commuter rail service in the Hong Kong region over three main lines. Its network consisted of some 113 kilometers (70 miles) of track. Although MTR runs the combined system, KCRC retains ownership of its rail-related assets and receives payments from MTR under a 50-year contract, which may be extended.
