Over the years, lots of improvements were done including platform extensions and frequency improvements. Due to the regeneration of Rockham, Line C was permanently closed. Line A lost its branch to Residential due to low usage. Its replacement station is ConnectCentral Arena.

Line D opened in two separate regions due to the complexity of connections to be done. These sections were Paillade to Maguelones in Castelnau Le Lez and Aberdeen to Central in Palm Ridge. The latter was extended to North New Oak in 2020.

=== Separation of Lines A and B, Realignment ===

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.

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.

=== Line D extension and connection ===

Line D was first renovated in 2019, which included track improvement works and station upgrades. The next phase was to extend the line to Gospley. There were several complications which delayed its extension. The tunnel portal and tunnels were too small, which means tunnel strengthening and widening had to be done. Works were completed in 2020. New sections of tunnel were dug in May 2021, with the two new stations Gospley Central and Gospley Bridesgate nearing completion a month later.

Phase 2 of the extension would connect the existing Palm Ridge and New Oak section to the Gospley section.

Phase 2 of the extension would connect the existing Palm Ridge and New Oak section to the Gospley section. Due to incompatibility, tunnel widening and improvement works had to be done between New Oak and Palm Ridge - Aberdeen. Aberdeen would be relocated to be in a cutting when the line connects. Platform extension works (with selective door operation to be implemented) were ongoing at Palm Ridge Central. This connection would be expected to open in September 2021, with a new station at Gospley Residential (placeholder name).
