 ===== Rolling Stocks =====
-Similar to [[/wlt_line_1#rolling_stocks|Line 1 (Meyan Line)]], since turn radius is small between West Lake station and See Tsuen station in the final zig-zag lining plan, 4-door trains are used instead of 5-door trains that are currently running on North Coast Line. Existing 6 sets of 5-door C-Train with railway vision livery is gradually rebuilding to 5 sets of 4-door C-Train. 1 set of rebuilt C-Train has already transported to Chik Shek Wan Depot and started its passengers service on the shuttle between Kwong Chow and Sai Mo Island. 2 more sets of C-Train has also started passengers service after the first stage of merge. 1 more set of C-Train started regular service from 2024 December onwards.

The final set of C-Train started regular service since trains enter eastern extension section for testing.
-There are also 5((1 set of M-Train (A209/A200) is changed back to its look before refurbishment along with Camshaft resistors traction control)) set of M-Train (phase 2A) and 10 sets of K-Train have started serving passengers.

-Originally, the fleet was planned to include 3 sets of Shanghai Metro Trains 01A06 previously running on the North Coast Line. However, as the trains are too tall for the tunnels, they are planned to retire instead as soon as North Coast Line merges with WLT Line 2. Alternatively, 5 sets of phase 2C M-Train will join the fleet, but with an overhaul in the propulsion system by Alstom, as DC motor is harder to maintenance and consumes more electricity. 1 set of them has already started regular service.

+Due to the platforms in [[/cyanex|Cyan Twilight Line]]((80m long)) can only accomodate 4-car 4-door trains, trains through-running to Cyan Twilight Line and Bond Line need to consist of only 4 cars rather than 5 cars. For promotion of direct access to the Sightseeing Line network, Cyanex Rapid Transit [[/chi|CXD104]] (previously running on Sightseeing Line, replaced by CXD107) is chosen to be the sole rolling stock used for 4-car trains. The first batch of 15 sets 4-car trains are replaced with ABB traction, for diversifying the traction brand used and also for softer traction sound. The last batch of 10 sets 4-car trains are equipped with Bombardier //Mitrac (TC1110 series)// traction, similar to the one on most Chinese trains built in 2000s or 2010s with Bombardier designed traction.

 The line will add three stops, Hung Shan, Lung Tau and Tsim Pei Tsui. Hung Shan will be an interchange station with Metro South Continental Line and Guri Bay Line while Tsim Pei Tsui will be another interchange station with [[/wlt_line_4|Line 4 (Elizabeth Line)]] besides the current West Lake station and proposed Toitoi station.
