   * 5 May, 2024: First stage of merge kicks in.
   * 29 August, 2024: Full merge kicks in and throughrunning starts. Name is changed to account for a rather long throughrunning section in Sightseeing Line Phase 3, 4 comparing to Kwong Chow Line section.
+  * 3 June, 2025: Trains are no longer stopping at Three Rivers station to reduce the travelling time from/to former North Coast Line stations.
 ===== 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.

-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 8 sets of K-Train have started serving passengers.
+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.

 ===== Future Plans =====
-There are no expected further expansion on the line. Existing non-finished stations and track sections will be gradually worked on.
+Existing non-finished stations and track sections will be gradually worked on.
+As Tsim Pei Tsui Peninsula east of Eden, south of Kallos and New Buckingham, north of Yunlong not served by any means of transport, and **Line 2 (Kwong Pak Kwun Line)** fleet is expected to be in a large surplus even when operating at ultimate peak hour frequency, it is proposed to expand [[/makki_memorial_village_station|Makki Memorial Village station]] to fit an eastbound platform in, then extend the line in 115° heading, tunnel under Lilac Light Rail tracks and turn to heading east again, finally arrive at the Peninsula after crossing the ocean east of [[/hung_shan_station|Hung Shan station]].
+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.
