-First major bay crossing (and the only east-west crossing in the lower basin) was the Llanmara Bay Tunnel. It runs from [[Houton High Street|Houton High Street]] to [[Boulton-on-Mesa|Boulton-on-Mesa]] on the [[Metro Victory Line|Metro Victory Line]]. [[Bay Interchange|Bay Interchange]] Station will be retrofitted inside the tunnel, albeit closer to the eastern portal than the southwestern one. The tunnel's mostly curveless nature allows for trains to reach top speeds crossing the bay. It began construction on 30 October 2022 and was completed in the early hours of the morning on 1 November 2022. The tunnel allowed for the former [[Metro Azalea Line|Metro Azalea Line]] and the Victory Line alignments to become one complete segment between [[Meilan|Meilan]] and [[Saint Ann's|Saint Ann's]]. An opening ceremony took place, with an inaugural ride between Houton and Boulton as well as a ribbon-cutting ceremony, with notable [[Lilypad Rail|Lilypad Rail]] officials as well as Jonathan (Jon_Ho) onboard the first train. This linkage turned the Victory Line into a pseudo-express service to the [[Docklands Light Railway (DLR)|Docklands Light Railway]].+First major bay crossing (and the only east-west crossing in the lower basin) was the Llanmara Bay Tunnel.

 Victory Line trains now run in a circular manner, with both anticlockwise and clockwise trains using the tunnel. The southwestern tunnel portal was adjusted slightly north by ~20 blocks on 1 March 2023 in order to accommodate the Boulton-on-Mesa reconstructions. Bay Interchange station is not yet constructed. Trains slow down to a stop at the platform location for timetable's sake before speeding back up again. Trains do not open their doors at Bay Interchange. Victory Line trains now run in a circular manner, with both anticlockwise and clockwise trains using the tunnel.

-There is a decorative Pride Flag, located at about coordinates 445 ~ -9221, within the Central Basin. It was built by [[Lily (sleepy_sapph)|Lily (sleepy_sapph)]] who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. This flag was built facing up to the sky in order to show up on the [[https://jonafanho.no-ip.org/lets-play-squaremap/|squaremap]] of the server. It is purely decorative. It was used temporarily as a landing pad for the Llanmara Dragon Ride.+

The Dragon Ride was closed 31 March 2023 in accordance with the opening of the [[Metro Llanmara Express|Metro Llanmara Express]] extension to Fairview Docks.
