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. | Line D opened in two separate regions due to the complexity of connections to be done.

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. | Due to overcrowding, ConnectCentral considered several solutions to mitigate this issue.

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 B would take an alternative route to Canal, via Paillade, providing interchange to Tram Line D.

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. | |||
