The alliance managed to expand its reach westward which required a further extension westwards to reach far-away cities such as (old) Sint Maartenstaad.<!-- The old Sint Maartenstaad was located southwest of Abaki. It has since been moved to the former city of Kralyn after an ownership transfer. --> Rapid construction was done, and the line was extended again to Sint Maartenstaad on 2 September 2018, with intermediate stations at Lakeview (formerly Lakeview City) and Crystal Hills. Abaki was not ready at the time which opened later than expected. | The alliance managed to expand its reach westward which required a further extension westwards to reach far-away cities such as (old) Sint Maartenstaad.<!-- The old Sint Maartenstaad was located southwest of Abaki.

Due to the abandonment and move on Sint Maartenstaad, the section between there and Abaki was suspended for months since December 2019, before being announced its permanent closure. | Due to the abandonment and move on Sint Maartenstaad, the section between there and Abaki was suspended for months since December 2019, before being announced its permanent closure. This resulted in an alternative alignment of an extension to serve New Brighton, a new developing town in the extreme west of Gardellia. An intermediate station was planned, which is now occupied by Delmarva City. Line works were done in June 2019, resulting in suspension of the line between Abaki and Lakeview which would utilise the new crossover built. Due to complex terrain involving swamps, construction was delayed. Abaki was reopened in July 2019. On the 14th of September, the line finally reached its ultimate terminus at New Brighton. Delmarva City opened much later in 2020. | ||
