=== Line A Improvement works ===

Over the years, Line A has received multiple track improvement works. The curves around Dalesburg City Hall were redone when platform extension works occurred. As existing tunnels leading to Maguelones from Castelnau Arena were too sharp, a new route was done to allow for longer trains to operate. This renovation was completed in ~~2019~~, utilising a month-long closure. When the underground road tunnel was redone, a new route was needed between north of the new Maguelones portal and west of Dalesburg City Hall. A new gentle curve was done from the latter, with a new cut-and-cover tunnel dug. The line now has a road crossing due to space constraints. These works were completed in May 2021. Castelnau Arena would open at a later date due to extensive renovation involving the Castelnau Underground station.

=== Separation and Realignment of Lines A and B, Extension to Central City ===

Due to overcrowding, ConnectCentral considered several solutions to mitigate this issue. To increase capacity, Line B would be separated entirely from Line A, with direct tunnels to reach Paillade Stadium. Whilst this was done, Line A was realigned between Maguelones and Canal to enable the project to revitalise Castelnau Canal be delivered. Agropolis tramstop was permanently closed, and Canal tramstop was relocated slightly to the east. This location would be connected to the Line B tramstop.

Line B would take an alternative route to Canal, via Paillade, providing interchange to Tram Line D. Current works progressed up to Paillade, which was completed in 2020. New tunnels were dug to Canal in May 2021, expected to open in July. On the other end, Dalesburg Mainline station ceased to be the terminus when the line was extended to Dalesburg Athlete Village.

Line B would take an alternative route to Canal, via Paillade, providing interchange to Tram Line D. It was first separated from Line A in March 2020. Current works progressed up to Paillade, which was completed on 13 October 2020. New tunnels were dug to Canal in May 2021, expected to open in July. On the other end, Dalesburg Mainline station ceased to be the terminus when the line was extended to Dalesburg Athlete Village.

These lines are expected to be extended to Central City. Tentative dates are not set, but the alignments were finalised in 2020. Line B would continue from Canal to the Port of Gardellia, while Line A would continue from LeCity2 into the Central City, with an intersection with Line B at the western end. Preliminary works were done on Line A, which saw the total reconstruction of Super Speedway station and the short extension to LeCity2. Allentown station was relocated, with Dalesburg City Hall rebuilt to accommodate longer platforms and an additional pair for Line B. With several weekend closures, these works were completed in 2020.
