In preparation for nationalisation, several drastic improvements were done to improve the line. Notably, the curve and gradient between Schitt's Creek and Council had been redone thrice, with the most recent being May 2021. It was also decided to merge IC-3 into IC-1 due to its feasible alignment. At the same time, the tracks between Council and Bad Fischdorf were redone as well as the platform extension works at Fukuya Downtown. Services were part suspended between Council and Fukuya Downtown from December 2019 | In preparation for nationalisation, several drastic improvements were done to improve the line.

Services were part suspended between Council and Fukuya Downtown from 9 December 2019. When through services to TomiVille and Clexio Bay opened on 11 March 2020, only a single track was in operation between Council and Dolphinplains whilst the other remained under construction. The IC-3 platforms at Dolphinplains became disused, with the former IC-1 platforms refurbished and reopened. Bad Fischdorf reopened the next day, which included a new platform and a new concourse. The second tunnel opened three days after. | ||
Line improvement works are planned on the former IC-3 portion. The TomiVille branch was closed for months when the station was rebuilt to have lengthened platforms. It was reopened on 21 March 2020. | Line improvement works are planned on the former IC-3 portion.
