On 6 February 2023, Lilypad Rail proposed a new route 492 starting from Jonathan’s Resort to Bridge Bay. This is the first light rail route serving the west of Jonathan’s Resort. On the same day, Qingli Railways also announced to cooperate with Lilypad Rail to operate a new peak hour light rail route 492P running from Chou Wai to Light Rail Depot.
On 10 February 2023, the track section between Jonathan’s Resort and Chou Wai was completed. Route 492 and 492P went fully operational to Chou Wai. The route number of 492P has been converted to 483P.
On 18 February 2023, the track section between Bridge Bay and Chou Wai is completed. Route 492 is extended to Bridge Bay stop, but Route 483P is not.
